Debunking Harvard in most places internationally is also likely to ring hollow. While students at the Sorbonne might cackle with glee as you relate to them the evils of Physics 11a sections, students at Qatar University won’t even believe you; and students from Beirut University might angrily demand that you try a couple classes in his shoes. Not to mention that any non-college educated person in any foreign country will immediately affirm their conception of Americans as spoiled if you pine away about your tough life on the banks of the Charles. Or at least that...
...fight scenes?which is to say, the movie?are as impressive for their inventiveness as their fluidity. Just when you think nothing new can possibly be done with swords, shields and wirework, action coordinator Tony Ching offers soldiers clinging to thin green trees, hurling hand-carved, hollow bamboo spears that whistle through the air like artillery shells. Sword fighting is old hat for Zhang Ziyi now, but Kaneshiro plays like he was born to the bow; maybe he's been taking archery lessons from Orlando Bloom.

...mandate, is both internationally legitimate and objectively fair. It's difficult to imagine the authorities in Belgrade conducting a similarly unbiased prosecution, or one that so carefully protects Milosevic's right to defend himself and even cross-examine victims of his alleged crimes. Milosevic's protestations of unfairness ring hollow. Saddam's allegations of political bias resonate more deeply. The Iraqi Special Tribunal is not an international court. It was created - and its judges selected - by the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council. Salem Chalabi, the nephew of the once omnipresent opposition figure Ahmad Chalabi, was handpicked by former U.S. administrator...
