...Which makes Diesel - a great stage name (his real one is Mark Vincent) for an actor who seems motor-driven - ideal as the headliner of special-effects action films like this weekend's Fast & Furious, the fourth in a series that launched in 2001 and has now been stripped of its definite articles because, in Hollywood, thes are for wimps. In a car-demolition picture like F&F, the real work in the driving and fighting and jumping scenes is done by stuntmen and computer nerds, but the stories require a stoic male presence, and that, Diesel provides...

...best thing about that movie is that these are the things that teenagers think about. Some of those who were raised a little better might not have said it, but these thoughts are there for every teenage male. That said, I honestly didn't see myself making a mark in teen comedies.

One consolation: while NATO gropes for a raison d'être, so too do some of its detractors - Europe's feisty antiwar organizations. Six years after millions of Europeans took to the streets to demonstrate against U.S. plans to invade Iraq, the protest of the latest NATO summit is a sorry affair by comparison. Some 1,000 activists are camped in tents on the edge of Strasbourg in the so-called anti-NATO village, vowing to disrupt this weekend's summit...
