...much worse. Cyanide, by comparison, is a sweet pink poof of cessation. Would last week's witnesses have been happier if California had used a neat bullet to the base of the brain (the method the Chinese authorities favor now)? Or if the state had injected Harris with a lethal shot of cocaine so that he would depart in a blinding rush of pleasure? What was truly cruel and unusual -- virtually sadistic -- was the way that the quarreling judicial stage managers jerked Harris in and out of the gas chamber, the man not knowing whether...

An ILM team led by Steve Williams animated -- brought to life, if you will -- the T-1000 creature in T2, which could transform itself from, say, linoleum into a lethal humanoid weapon. "Movie effects have been the same for a hundred years, and they're changing this year," Williams, 30, says with a visionary's lack of modesty. "This is the milestone right here...
