...seems, more mentor than prime informant on the story. It was the hardworking boys--fueled by ambition (yes, that, speaking of low human motives), passion and fast food--who put the puzzle together. Do you think, just possibly, we could use a few more of their ilk right now in Washington...

Universal Pictures has a Doom movie set to film in Prague this winter, with producer John Wells--of such respectable fare as ER and The West Wing--attached. (The Rock reportedly has his sights...
