...Magical Kingdom is a little short on enchanted subjects. The fifth branch of the Happiest Place on Earth has been criticized for being too small and offering too few rides, but the The Walt Disney Company hopes to inject a little fairy dust into the place by adding a hitherto missing ingredient: the iconic "It's A Small World" ride - a boat tour through an air-conditioned world of singing and dancing dolls sporting Disney's idea of their country's traditional costumes in locales both real and imagined.

Oil-rich Azerbaijan, for example, had long begun inclining towards the West, but may be pushed back into Moscow's orbit because of Nagorno-Karabakh, a province that broke away in the 1990s and has de facto integrated with Armenia.

But what made that moment so special was that it was so anti-Oscar. Indeed the rest of the ceremony left me entirely spent. I felt like Daniel Day-Lewis...
...most exciting comebacks in Florida high school football history: With two minutes to go in a semifinal playoff game on Dec. 7 at Miami's Orange Bowl, the hitherto undefeated state champion Miami Northwestern Bulls were watching their season - and their ranking as the nation's top high school football team - slip away. The Deerfield Beach Bucks were leading 14-12 in the game, and had the ball on Northwestern's 1-yard line. But the Bulls not only kept the Bucks out of the end zone, they marched 99 yards with just one timeout left, converting two fourth-down...
