...Some of the cast members are given room to create plausible characters. McGregor seems the very model of a vigorous, committed young prelate, the kind you wouldn't mind having as your kids' teacher. Skarsgard and Mueller-Stahl let a ray of humanity peek from under their official frowns. Zurer, the Israeli actress who ornamented Steven Spielberg's Munich, has the strong features and intellectual mien that nerds like me find irresistible...
Daniel Cherkin, a senior investigator at the center, gathered 638 patients with chronic low back pain, none of whom had ever had acupuncture, and gave them one of three different acupuncture treatments.

(ditto), and a 465-sq.-ft. model with a tiny bedroom. In addition to the modest proportions, Tata is relying on economies of scale and careful sourcing of materials to keep costs low. The Mumbai project, for instance, will get its steel from group company Tata Steel, which has plant at nearby Tarapore. Land-acquisition costs will be minimized by giving the original landowner a percentage of each project's returns. The homes will...
