...another, confirming that the lumps scientists saw were real, not some malfunction in the telescopes. And two weeks ago, astronomers from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey confirmed that this primordial lumpiness has carried over into modern times. The five-year mission of the survey, to make a 3-D map of the cosmos, is far from complete, but scientists reported at the American Astronomical Society's spring meeting in Pasadena, Calif., that it is clearer than ever that galaxies cluster together into huge clumps that reflect conditions that existed soon after the Big Bang...
...warmest of directorial styles; Kubrick's is among the coolest. One aims to seduce the audience; the other wanted to bend moviegoers to see it his way, or to hell with them. The resulting fugue is like a piece composed for brass but played on woodwinds, a Death Valley map on which Spielberg has placed seeds, hoping they will somehow blossom...
...whose face is known across Asia yet who still isn't quite a star is making it onto the A list. Millennium Mambo put Shu Qi under the tutelage of director Hou Hsiao-hsien, a serious cine-aficionado who almost single-handedly put Taiwanese art films on the global map.

This film was essentially made for her, and her character...
...lack papers and don't speak Chinese. In Yanji on a recent night, a group of eight refugees were preparing to make a run for it anyway. In a safe house on the top floor of a concrete apartment building, they huddled on the linoleum floor, pouring over a map of Mongolia while a missionary went over the route they would take, explaining where to make the crossing under the concertina wire at the frontier, urging them to keep walking until they are able to surrender to Mongolian border troops. The missionary is tense, jumpy. He tells them...
...easy to see how they find the evidence against Berenson pretty damning. She'd rented the safe house; she was working with a woman who was part of the MRTA leadership. There was a map in her handwriting of the congress building (she was accused of reconnoitering it as a target for the MRTA), there were notes apparently by her, in her hand - an MRTA internal document about the Brady plan. Her explanations didn't seem particularly convincing. Her explanation for the safe house was that she rented it, then sublet it; she didn't know the woman...
