...bottom of an empty swimming pool. Crosscourt shots sent players crashing into the walls. Another tiny challenge for Ivanovic: in 1999 NATO launched air strikes against Belgrade to halt President Slobodan Milosevic's campaign of ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. On the first night of bombing, Ivanovic and her family hid in a cellar. "But we had the windows glued, you know," she says, "so they wouldn't go into little pieces." While she was spending time with her grandparents, a bomb exploded less than a mile from their apartment...
...weeks leading up to Commencement, the surface serenity of Harvard’s underpopulated campus hid a fearsome black market. This prohibited trade—sometimes thinly disguised but often overt—made up a substantial portion of the traffic on house and open lists. Though in past years the University administration has threatened to Ad Board any students caught engaging in this prohibited activity, students continue out of desperation for this highly sought-after commodity...
...Beit Shemesh, a town near Jerusalem, another case of abuse centered on a self-styled female "rabbi" who hid her face entirely behind a black veil. Her religious modesty attracted dozens of Haredi female disciples over several years, but her own sister was frantically seeking police intervention to stop the woman from thrashing her children with a rolling pin.

Thompson, by contrast, Blair told me, was "an amazing guy-the first person really to give me a sense that the faith I intuitively felt was something that could...
...Matrix, the brothers hid allusions to the Bible, Greek mythology and mathematics. If there's any complex philosophy in Speed Racer, it went over my head (probably at the speed of light). Here, the texture is the text, and it's deliriously dense, with more than 2,000 effects shots, often layered on top of each other. The effect, if you get into it, isn't just a store window of technology. It is, as Mom says of Speed's mastery behind the wheel, "inspiring, and beautiful, and everything art should be." That's what the Wachowskis are aiming...
