...Germans, on the other hand, are searching for the team that ran Poland off the pitch in the opening match. The one that lost 2-1 to Croatia and got by Austria 1-0 thanks to a Michael Ballack free kick blast doesn't appear to pose much of a threat to Portugal. And the Germans will be without their coach, Joachim Löw, who is serving a one-game suspension for getting dismissed during the Austria match. Although a second choice Portugal side lost to Switzerland - which salved some wounds for the co-hosts - tonight there will...

...case of 300, the hand audiences felt was really Miller's, since whenever Snyder made a creative decision, he asked himself, What would Frank do? Comic-book-movie directors like Snyder, who see themselves as stewards of another person's vision rather than architects of their own, have made comic-book creators Hollywood's latest big-budget auteurs. Because they work with such low overhead compared with moviemakers, comic writers and artists can take many more creative chances than directors. "You don't have endless development meetings that turn your brain into milk," says Miller. "You get to at least...
