...happened to walk into the Temple of Earth in Beijing - the nearly 500-year-old monument where Chinese emperors once prayed for good harvests - on Aug. 28, you would have noticed a steady drip. The environmental group Greenpeace placed ice sculptures of 100 children - made of the glacial meltwater that feeds China's great rivers - inside the temple to symbolize the risk that climate change and disappearing ice poses to the 1 billion-plus people in Asia who are threatened by water shortages...
...panel will be getting the public to accept that there's a limited amount of health care to ration.

In this ostensible comedy, though, his ear is tin, his eye myopic. The right-wing townsfolk, artsy theater people and visiting hippies come across as the shallowest stereotypes. Lee's attempts to imitate the split-screen and psychedelic...
