...Standing beside Powell last week, Foreign Minister Ban Ki Moon insisted his government had nothing to hide. "We're handling this in a transparent manner," he said. Officials and lawmakers in Seoul are seething over the international scrutiny, saying their country is the victim of a double standard because their ancient rival Japan is allowed to enrich uranium and separate plutonium to run reactors. "Every nation that pursues the full use of nuclear technology inevitably gets close to weapons technology," says Kim Tae Woo, a nuclear analyst at the government-run Korea Institute for Defense Analyses. "So what is wrong...
...Czechoslovakia, the movie follows the life of Eliska (Ana Geislerova). A medical student in Prague, she and her lover are involved in the Resistance. When the Gestapo discovers their involvement, they’re forced to part ways; he disappears without a word, while she goes off to hide in the countryside village of Zelary with Joza (Gyorgy Cserhalmi), a simple woodcutter from the country who was a patient in her hospital. There is a kind of symmetry in this turn of events; the night before, Eliska saves Joza’s life by offering up her blood...

Julianne Moore’s Telly Paretta is a likeable everywoman. Her therapist (Gary Sinise), is appropriately authoritarian, while her husband (ER’s Anthony Edwards) appears to be phoning in his support from another planet. They are too hampered by the product they’ve been asked to deliver to hope...
...cappella music is a lot harder than it looks. I played the trombone, played in orchestras and sang in choirs throughout high school, but singing really good a cappella music requires a totally different type of musicianship. There’s just nowhere to hide yourself in a group of 13 people. Every single person is playing a huge role in each song, which requires an enormous amount of focus. A cappella singers must not only be outstanding soloists but exceptionally solid musicians as well. As a singer, I feel really lucky to be in a group with so many...
