Lying on the ironing-board flatness of Texas's High Plains, Lockney, Texas, is about as far removed from inner-city gangs and violence as is possible to get in the lower forty-eight. The nearest city with an airport, Lubbock, is, as the song says, a place best observed from a rear view mirror. Not much happens in these parts. That's the way most people want it. Populated with deeply religious people who like their religion like they like their barbecue sauce--fiery and covering everything--the west Texas Panhandle is one of the last notches...
...Crowe, an actor whose praises I've been singing for years. LA Confidential and The Insider (which he should of won Best Actor for) solidified his credibility as an actor, but Gladiator is the film that will make Crowe a star. While the role of Maximus lacks the deep inner-conflict and shades of gray that marked the roles of Bud White and Jeffrey Wigand, Crowe is given the opportunity here to display a white-hot intensity and impressive physicalitynever, not even for a nanosecond, do we fail to believe that he is every inch a Roman warrior...

"I was shocked," says Podhurst. "I think we could have worked...
Carmen Arace Middle School is situated in the pastoral town of Bloomfield, Conn., but four years ago it faced many of the same challenges as inner-city schools in nearby Hartford: low scores on standardized tests, dropping enrollment and high rates of detention. Then the school's hard-driving principal, Delores Bolton, persuaded her board to shake up the place by buying a laptop computer for each student and teacher to use, in school and at home. For good measure, the board provided wireless Internet access at school. Total cost: $2.5 million...
