...Children over 6 years old (school age) have a stricter regimen: They usually rise at 6 a.m and go outside for morning exercises - calisthenics in the yard - then have breakfast, usually sticky rice or noodles with vegetables or bread. They then prepare to bicycle to a school about a mile away. At 11:30 they return for lunch and a nap. At 2:30, some may go back to school and others stay at home and work on homework.

Marine scout sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) could nail a gnat a mile away in a high wind. So he's just the guy to help government officials catch a presidential assassin--and then to be blamed for the killing in a high-level double cross. The film, which is basically Rambo with a higher IQ, is best at giving plausible instructions on how to assemble and detonate weapons of movie distraction. Wahlberg, so muscled up he looks as if he's ready to explode, is serious and committed to the action genre. He could be that youngish star...

...word of advice for the gentlemen: don’t bring your girlfriends within a country mile of R. Kelly. As his shameless new video, “I’m a Flirt (Remix),” makes abundantly clear, he’s a flirt.

...whom Bush was counting on for his warmest reception. What he got instead was a tense tour finale. Bush apparently hadn't read many of Calderon's remarks in the months and weeks leading up to their Yucatan summit this week - such as his comparing a Bush-approved, 700-mile-long border fence to the Berlin Wall, or calling the illegal immigration issue an "open wound" for U.S.-Mexico relations.
