...rank their performances in any meaningful sense. Steinberger presents an almost scarily realistic portrait of Bobby, Mamet's junkie with a heart of gold, while Carmichael brilliantly portrays the overly energetic and manipulative Teach. St. Newmouth as Don plays the calm anchor for the group who will eventually mastermind their shot at a better life--a risky rare coin heist...
...only twice a week, for an hour each session. That's when they are allowed into an exercise space to roam within the tight confines of individual wire enclosures 10 ft. from each other. And thus Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber), Timothy McVeigh (of Oklahoma City infamy) and Ramzi Yousef (mastermind of the World Trade Center attack) get a break from solitary confinement and a chance to be neighborly at the federal maximum-security prison in Florence, Colo.--a.k.a.

During the transatlantic leg of the flight back to the U.S., Yousef had bragged that his original plan had been to plant enough explosives in one of the 110-story twin buildings to topple it, killing maybe...
Osama Bin Laden won't be playing dominoes with the Unabomber any time soon. His hosts, the Taliban, are distinctly unimpressed by the $5 million bounty offered by the U.S., and vowed Thursday that the terrorist mastermind wouldn't be extradited. Still, money does talk in Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia's talks loudest: "The Taliban can't operate without Saudi funding, particularly now that they're planning a spring offensive against their opposition," says TIME New Delhi bureau chief Tim McGirk.
