...which, upon his death, is taken up by a gospel choir at his funeral. When Max goes to the draft center, soldiers in masks dance around the inductees to "I Want You (She's So Heavy"). Who's so heavy? The Statue of Liberty, which the recruits hoist above them and carry off to Vietnam. The a cappella "Because" submerges the kids in a psychedelic pool and ends with Max surfacing under the shadow of a U.S. helicopter in Vietnam.

Ashley will always have the mind of an infant, and now she will able to stay where she belongs-in the arms of the family that loves...
...Paul Budde, a telecommunications analyst based in Australia, says that the indirect impact on Asia's economy of a hypothetical total outage could easily reach $1 billion a day. Restoring communications links will take time, Budde says, because specialized ships will be needed to hoist damaged cables from the sea floor for repair. "There are only a handful of (the ships) around the world," he says. "It's not an easy job. This is going to take days." On Thursday afternoon, officials from the Hong Kong Office of Telecommunications Authority reported that two cable-repair ships had been dispatched from...
