...confess and win his wife back, but Grant's function in the film is to provide a running commentary on Parker's cartoonishly tense career gal. ("A week ago," he tells his Wyoming hosts, after Meryl proves her mettle with firearms, "she was basically Amish.") Grant can't do much with the rest of the movie's banter, long mothballed in the Museum of Old Jokes. One bit comes from the Jack Benny Gagbook, circa 1937. FBI agent to Meryl: "Would you rather live somewhere else than die in New York?" Meryl: - long pause - "I'm thinking...
...middle-aged marrieds who give shelter and wisdom to outsiders on the lam. But Elliott and Steenburgen are mere supporting figures to the grating central couple ... and to the sound track of numbers way older than Meryl and Paul ... and to the picture's constant badgering about how much more wonderful a one-horse town with a grizzly bear, an imported killer and a guy who smokes in the local restaurant is than dirty old Gotham.

That's significantly higher than the 13-ft.-to-19-ft. range scientists have been counting on, and it is, write Peter Huybers of Harvard and Peter Clark of Oregon State University in an accompanying commentary in Nature, "a disconcerting message."

"We can only give a thousand-year average," says Kopp, meaning that it might well take a millennium for sea level to go up that much. The rise would be inevitable, though: even if we cut back emissions today, concentrations of greenhouse gases will continue to increase, albeit more slowly. As a result, if temperatures go up by as much as 2°C (3.5°F) by the end of the century - the upper limit...
...presence of the president overseas benefits the University’s relationship with foreign governments and universities in ways that are difficult to quantify, officials say. As much as Faust may learn about the University’s research projects from touring laboratories, for instance, the spotlight shone upon the research centers themselves during her visit alone helps them to thrive...
