...sold into slavery by their fellow Africans, certainly a crime nearly as heinous as the actual practice of slavery. Spielberg does show us this, but very matter-of-factly, with nowhere near the emotional charge or passion with which he depicts the whites' treatment of the slaves. For the latter, he calls forth tempestuous lightning storms for back-drop, while he shows us shot after shot of pained, anguished, screaming faces in fast montage, while the former is simply and briefly shown with ordinary straight-on camera work. While he graphically lays bare the folly, political entanglements and carnage...
FALSE. Titanic logged 6,029 stunt-man days, probably a movie-industry record (True Lies had 2,202).

WASHINGTON: And so Mars continues to confound. For every theory that says our sister planet is and always was a barren, lifeless rock, there's one that suggests it once teemed with life ? and sure enough, we're more likely to listen to the latter. That was evident when a report in the journal Science pooh-poohing NASA?s claims over the supposedly fossilized Martian meteor was elbowed aside in the media by Friday's edition of Nature. The latter, gathering evidence from the Pathfinder mission, said Mars was once warm, moist ? and more likely to have harbored some form...
...With Cohen and his boss believing the latter, any hope of an early end to sanctions ? as per last week's Russian-brokered deal ? disappears faster than you can say "veto." And Saddam is not likely to take such a setback lying down...
