...have only a few decades to live. The two biggest threats are diseases, which hit harder when coral organisms are environmentally stressed, and bleaching--the loss of beneficial algae due to rising global temperatures. The investigators involved in the study believe human impact goes back much further, to our hunter-gatherer days. Analyzing the evolutionary history of 14 reefs around the world, they found evidence of ancient, land-based pollution that has long been toxic to coral. Additionally, centuries of overfishing may have disrupted the food chain, allowing the overgrowth of other types of algae, which compete with coral...
...central to Thirteen and a somewhat underdeveloped subplot in Freaky Friday. In the former, Reed plays Evie, who moves in on a slightly disheveled but still functioning family and leads the daughter Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood) to the brink of disaster. It contains a nice, dithering performance by Holly Hunter as a mom making a living by hairdressing at home while trying to sustain a relationship with an unpromising guy (Jeremy Sisto). In the latter, the mother Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her kid are magically obliged to switch roles, with Mom enduring a day as a teenager...
BLADE. Set in present-day New York City, this high octane thriller chronicles the violent exploits of comic superhero Blade (Wesley Snipes). With the technical expertise of Whistler, an old vampire hunter, he wages a one-man war against the seedier half of the rave crowd: its bloodthirsty vampires. No longer are they of Dracula’s ilk, who at least treated his prey like dainty four-course meals. Deacon Frost, the latest threat to humanity, wants nothing to do with such namby-pambiness and seeks to become the all-powerful vampiric avatar, La Magra. Blade...
...That doesn?t mean the circus has left town. Only $3,500 and 65 signatures keep anyone who wants to run from being on the ballot, and Larry Flynt, Gary Coleman and pinup Angelyne are all in the race, along with a cigarette retailer from Napa county, a bounty hunter from Sacramento and a satellite project manager from Long Beach named Michael Jackson. As Stan Oftelie, executive director of the Orange County Business Council, told the Los Angeles Times, ?This is the political equivalent of streaking: You show up, you run across the room naked and you get attention...
...Director George Tenet told his lieutenants, "We are at war. I want no resources or people spared in this effort, either inside the CIA or the community." But there is little evidence that Tenet shared this declaration with other government agencies. At the National Security Council, top terrorist hunter Richard Clarke was also on a quest to adopt an all-out action plan against bin Laden, and in 2001 he urged the new Administration to do so. But the Bush team slow-walked its strategy through an interagency review for seven months...
