...planned her "abduction." Seiler initially claimed to have been kidnapped near her apartment, police say, then in Abduction Story 2.0 changed the location to another part of town. Police also reviewed a store videotape that showed her a few weeks earlier buying rope, duct tape, cough medicine and a knife--the very items she said her abductor had used to kidnap her. An analysis of Internet searches on her computer found information about woodsy areas in the vicinity and a weather report for the week. Last Friday acting Madison police chief Noble Wray concluded, "We do not believe there...
...this 1930 gangster pic, the Yasujiro Ozu festival at Harvard Film Archive brings the Japanese version of a very familiar archetype: a criminal with a taste for movies, jazz, flappers and snappy suits. But then love walks in the door for “Ken the Knife,” convincing him to go straight, eventually leading him to a steady job as a window washer. They don’t end up together, though; he continues to stay with a girlfriend who is into dangerous men. She is bored with his new conformity and attempts...

Truck drivers are assaulted on the roads; leading businessmen have been kidnapped for ransom; journalists have been tortured and murdered; and one of the nation's pre-eminent intellectuals, Humayun Azad, was almost killed in February by a gang of knife-wielding assailants.

But it's more honest than its American counterparts about what an ugly knife fight real estate can be. On the U.S. shows, real estate agents are kindly angels working selflessly to ensconce families in happy nests. Discovery's Double Agents (weekdays, 4 p.m. E.T.), which follows both buyers' and sellers' agents, presents them like NBA stars ("She's a straight-shooting veteran...
...starters, by killing one another. In this and other surface ways, Deadwood is like many westerns. There's a bad guy, saloon owner Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), who lives large by relieving the locals of their gold nuggets and having his thugs plant a bowie knife in anyone who gets in his way. But he is threatened when--yes--strangers ride into town. Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) is a former marshal with plans to open a hardware store. He's less a good guy than a control freak. In his last act as marshal, he hangs a horse thief without...
