...probably himself carrying the bomb because the device went off about a three feet from the ground, blowing out surrounding car windows but not causing a crater. "The man completely lost his hand. He surely did this when he was handling the explosive device," Mexico City Police Chief Joel Ortega told reporters...
...Mexican border in less than an hour for lunch, the nearest shopping mall is 200 miles (about 320 km) away. Those who live around here take immense pride in the desolate landscape that served as the backdrop for the films with the most Academy Award nominations this year, Joel and Ethan Coen's murderous No Country for Old Men and Paul Thomas Anderson's epic There Will Be Blood. But instead of buzzing about their potential golden night at the Oscars, locals are more concerned these days with a very real unfolding drama that has the potential to devastate...
...younger generation is getting its turn. Paul Thomas Anderson, writer-director of the critics' darling There Will Be Blood, is 37. Jason Reitman, whose Juno is the only $100 million box-office hit of the five Best Picture finalists, is just 30.

The leading actor award went to Daniel Day-Lewis, whose speech seemed designed to show everyone that he's not really as scary as he comes across on screen in There Will Be Blood...
Locavores vs. Distavores I'm sorry that the local-food movement is cramping Joel Stein's style [Jan. 21]. But just because 100 miles (160 km) has been used as an arbitrary procurement distance for p.r. purposes doesn't mean that all people who try to eat locally walk around the supermarket with a GPS unit. I still enjoy bananas and coffee, and I have no problem drinking beer that comes from - gasp! - California. But for me and many others, the point of eating locally is to become more familiar with our food. It's nice to hear a farmer...
