...mentor, Rob Webster of St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis and a pioneer in establishing the zoonotic origins of many influenzas, says, "The research is solid, but still, Yi has certainly stuck his neck way out there on this one." Yi, as usual, is dismissive of any doubts. Back in Hong Kong, he explains how the virus found in other rodents such as badgers is genetically less similar to the strains found in humans, before vowing that culling civets "will break the chain of infection...
...Jude Law keeps all the shirts he has been killed in. And he has been killed rather a lot, often quite horribly. There was a bashing with an oar, a climactic shootout and immolation in a garbage-disposal unit, to name a few.

While still in school, young Jude did lots of extracurricular theater, and his parents weren't surprised when he dropped out at 17 to take a role on the British TV soap Families...
When Ada (Nicole Kidman) arrives in Cold Mountain with her preacher father (Donald Sutherland), her refinement startles the citizenry; they must reconfigure their notions of perfection. Inman (Jude Law) has never looked that high. His eye has been on the plow, the nail to be hammered. But Ada and the approach of war bring a clarity to his ambitions. He wants her heart, and she lets him pack it on his journey into battle...
