Their stories don't relate narratively; they just glance off one another. But they do relate emotionally, "conceptually." As Inarritu says, "It's very simple: you get to know people through their dogs." Take Octavio. His relationship with Cofi is amiable but casual--until a rival handler shoots the dog, whereupon the frenzied Octavio stabs the would-be killer and rushes into his near fatal accident, as maddened by the threat to Cofi as he is by his lover's hesitations and ambiguities...
Before Dennis Thatcher owned the title of world's most insignificant other, there was KEN, who not only had to play second fiddle to Barbie but also suffered the further indignity of having no genitalia. Ken, named after the son of Mattel founders Ruth and Elliot Handler, celebrated his 40th birthday last week. Mattel marked the occasion by announcing plans to hawk a commemorative tuxedo-clad Ken doll, expected to land in stores in June. Fortieth-anniversary Ken will be sold with a tiny replica of the very first Ken, who wore a red bathing suit with a yellow towel...
...must now be replaced. The tab for one supersecret program that tapped Russian communications alone could top $100 million. LOUIS FREEH's FBI had failed to use a standard counterintelligence technique known as mail cover on the Russian spook who ran Hanssen.

The FBI's failure to use mail cover might have killed another man's career, but nobody surfs the crest of scandal like Freeh. By the time...
Monti should also see some action at the two spot because senior guard Lisa Kowal, another capable ball-handler, has been feeling healthier despite a sprained ankle early in the preseason. Kowal was out for 10 of the Crimson's games last year, and Monti logged 34.2 minutes per game in perhaps the most physically exhausting position on the floor. With Kowal healthy, Delaney-Smith already has more options for the backcourt than she did last year...
...Handler just wants to make it up to his mother. After doing time for grand theft auto, he's come home, to Queens, to start again, to make things right, get a job and help his mother out. Leo is kind of a quiet and understated guy, not usually given to displays of affection or emotion. When he does smile, it feels wonderful and safe. Unfortunately, Leo, played by Mark Wahlberg, has few reasons to be happy in James Gray's newest feature, The Yards. A dark, noir-ish story set against the intrigues of New York City's subway...
