...Apes" was indeed a fine-looking movie, from the setting to the shots of the apes loping into battle to, well, to Estella Warren and her highly evolved hairdo. That was to be expected from the director of "Scissorhands," "Batman," the even better-looking "Batman Returns," and "Sleepy Hollow." And I?m happy for Burton, whose cachet as one of Hollywood?s bankable directors has been in the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately category since "Mars Attacks," (which I actually liked, but no one else did) - the movie opened to the tune of $69 million, the largest...
...authorities stopped the tests in mid-June. Their verdict: inconclusive. That hasn't deterred the pharmacist and the ex-police chief, however. On June 2, Salang organized a free handout of V-1 at a Bangkok soccer stadium. It was a spectacle right out of a medieval plague tableau: hollow-eyed and ravaged by the disease, more than 4,000 AIDS sufferers limped onto the field or were carried on stretchers to receive a week's supply. For two patients, the dose came too late. Exhausted from negotiating through the shoving crowd and from the suffocating heat, they died...
...walked up the tunnel into the brilliant sunshine we were blinded by the field, an impossibly huge and bright emerald with a diamond eye.

I remember leaping to my little feet as the game's first fly ball ascended. Dad knowingly commentated, "Can-a-corn." The out must have traveled all of a hundred feet...
...thin, wiry guy who runs marathons and enjoys "century" bike races. But after Everest, he?s twenty pounds lighter than normal. At least those little tufts sticking out of his cheeks gave some definition to his gaunt features. His beautiful pale blue eyes sat deep inside hollow eye sockets that were rimmed with black cuts created when his goggles froze to his face. The skin on his face resembled bronze leather and bore the effects of sub-zero temperatures, 100-mile-an-hour winds, biting snow and glaring sun. His clothes hung too loosely off his frame and he still...
...class has ever been invited there. I wonder how many students’ names he knows. I wonder what sort of friend he is even to his aged peers, not just “kids” like us. Is he affectionate? Or is he interesting for conversation and hollow for humanity? Did he toss a football with his kids? He doesn’t give one the feeling that he could just relax and be a person, an ability we fancy few are fast losing...
