Well, I don’t notice the quiet ones, anyway. The tourists can hear our conversations, and unfortunately we can hear theirs too. Every few minutes, a family walks by and has the same conversation in the same manner. The husband shouts extremely loudly in an authoritative voice, “This is Julia Child’s kitchen! It’s not open yet! It will open on August 19!” His family stands just inches away from him as he unnecessarily reads the exhibition sign aloud word-for-word. The family then peers through...
...Kids 2 The spy kids are Carmen (Alexa Vega), who's goodhearted but sort of bossy, in the manner of know-it-all big sisters, and her little brother Juni (Daryl Sabara), who has more gumption than common sense and needs lots of rescuing. To put it simply, their adventures may be fantastic, but they are also real children. It's the same with their parents (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino). They are legendary superspies, but she has a touch of the anxious soccer mom about her, and he has a bit of the doofus in him. Any kid will...
...next five months, though, all manner of speculation, panic and pride will rain down on Giants centerfielder Hideki Matsui, 28, the free-agent slugger, two-time MVP and former batting champion who is called Godzilla "because I look so scary," he says. The 1.9 m, 95.3 kg Hideki bears the fortunate burden of playing for Japan's oldest, most successful team, an institution combining the prestige of the Yankees and the fan reverence accorded Notre Dame.

...decades after graduating from Bob Jones University in 1950, he ministered in Minneapolis, Minn., and then San Diego. In 1974 he founded an Evangelical church in El Cajon, Calif., that today claims 3,500 worshippers each Sunday. As a pastor in turbulent California during the '60s, LaHaye saw all manner of good people get into trouble with drugs and sex and sin. He felt that fragile humans needed to be filled with the protective Holy Spirit early, and his churches quickly led to schools (his Christian Unified Schools of San Diego now sprawls across three campuses) and to a college...
...reaction, Schumacher had pushed Barrichello up to the top step, embarrassing Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel, who didn't know who should get the first-place trophy. What Ferrari should have been penalized for was the crass and cynical application of team orders. While the FIA "deplored the manner" of Schumacher's win, it concluded "with reluctance" that it could take no action since the drivers were "contractually bound to execute orders given to them by the team." Since Ferrari is way out in front in both the drivers' and constructors' championships, and Schumacher could have his fifth World...
