...details of Roach's white-collar crime spree--buying a $7,000 belt buckle, spending $30,000 on a London jaunt and missing her flight home in the process, jiggering her expense account and pawning her purchases in an attempt to hide her splurges--might and probably will provide fodder for a made-for-TV movie. And the ending will be, as demanded by the genre, upbeat. The employer Roach cheated paid her $150,000 a year. She now has a similar consulting job with another company and earns...
...Makhmalbaf showed in Gabbeh, he is Iran's great colorist; here the grand vistas, the gorgeous hues of the women's burkas (which hide all but their eyes), offer poignant counterpoint to the Taliban's ravaging of a beautiful land.

We don't want China stealing our nuclear secrets, but we don't want a racial-profiling witch hunt. We don't want organized crime to hide its computer files online, but we don't like the idea that the FBI has developed a way to read our e-mail. Much more than in Congress or the White House, the FBI--like the Justice Department of which it is part--is a place where our values are daily...
