...prime Jackie Chan action film on Canal Street - where the locals chatted and noshed through the movie, and you always propped your feet on the seat in front of you, to keep the rats from breaking your concentration on the martial marvels on the screen - had the furtive kick of buying reefers from a zoot-suited dude on 125th Street...
...debate over MySpace's culpability has been raging on local talk radio and blogs this week, with many Austin residents saying it is up to parents to monitor their children's Internet activities.

This will likely be the big centerman's last World Cup, but if the U.S. wants to qualify for the next one, they'd better produce a top flight striker, and soon, as McBride was operating alone for much...
...current problems are simply growing pains. Taiwan has a lot going for it. Its people are committed to electing their President, lawmakers and local leaders, and are increasingly aware of their right to have a greater say in the governance of their lives?and of their power to kick out officials who don't deliver. The judiciary is largely impartial and the press largely free. These all provide an excellent institutional base on which to build. Taiwan's leaders will come and go, but the island's democracy is here to stay...
