...Back in the '70s, the director Robert Aldrich outlined distinctions between New York and L.A. police. In the Big Apple, he said, the cops are basically in it for the money, knowing that bribes and kickbacks will put their kids through college. L.A. cops, Aldrich said, are honest, crusading and sadistic: they get their charge from pulverizing the ones they tab as bad. Ludlow, who has a Patton-size flag outside his home and whom another cop calls "L.A.'s deadliest white boy," fits into this latter category. "We're the police," he tells a greener officer (Chris Evans...
...describes “Jack and Jill vs. the World” as “a love story for cynics.” In the film, the title characters create a list of ten rules to live by, until Jill breaks one of them (always be honest).

So any quick withdrawal of American troops from Iraq will lead to a complete collapse. If the Americans leave, what is going...
...Despite the best of intentions of a relatively honest government supported by a U.N. peacekeeping force, it's uncertain whether Preval can overcome his country's troubled legacy. And the turmoil in the world economy has diminished his chances of success. "We're back to square one," says a Haitian merchant in Port-au-Prince. So far, the police and peacekeepers have been instructed not to retaliate against the protesters, who in addition to burning buildings have also looted numerous retail stores. Patrick Gardere, whose showroom was ransacked Monday, fears that store owners may then take things into their...
