...brutal, half-classic crime movie highlighting the art of parkour. That's the working-class-thug form of gymnastics that sends athletic young men hurtling over roofs, through transoms and down staircases, all without the aid of a digital art brush. Morel, a cinematographer directing his first feature, kept things moving and snarling with a scuzzy brio and made expert use of the artless screen presence of the leading men (one a stunt man, the other a co-creator of parkour). The picture barely broke $1 million at the North American box office, but you can bet the makers...
...thousands of refugees converged on a MONUC base, spooked by rumors of a Mai Mai counterattack. On their heads and wooden bicycles they carried mattresses, sacks of potatoes, children. The Indian soldiers at the base drove two armored personnel carriers 300 ft. (90 m) outside. They kept 30 more carriers, tanks, jeeps and trucks in neat lines behind the razor wire and limited their interaction with the crowd to shooing them off an adjacent helipad. The refugees built tents of sticks and rags in front of the gates. "Nobody ever gets into the base," said Meshaq Shebani, 22, a roadside...
...bank, it's evident that she didn't need the government money to pay for her health care or to avoid plunging into poverty.

And society, having kept its promise to her, should get at least part of that money back. Oh, yes, designing a system to achieve this would be a nightmare--maybe impossible. The incentive for old folks to squander their savings would be enormous. Maybe it can't work. But the point is worth keeping in mind...

...there was truth to the charges. "I believe what I said was, 'You're a f___ing moron,'" says Wiener. "I was, and am, pissed and saddened by it." Another former ally, Randy Leonard, one of Portland's four city commissioners, was also dismayed, not least because Adams' story kept changing. His original version, a mentoring relationship, became a romantic liaison that the mayor insisted didn't become sexual until after Breedlove turned 18, the age of legal consent in Oregon. But in an interview published on Jan. 25 in the Oregonian, Breedlove suggested that he shared a passionate kiss...
