WALLS OF SHAME Billboards in 20 cities will now bear the mug shots of the FBI's most wanted. After a test of the strategy led to the arrest of a man suspected of killing a police officer in Philadelphia, the bureau secured a deal with Clear Channel Outdoor to use 150 digital boards, which will also flash security messages and alerts about missing children...
...Jake Kasdan, who also directs with a light and glancing hand. They are good-natured lads - smart, but not mean-spirited - and richly blessed by the presence of John C. Reilly in the title role.

But before that, I brainstormed, “What’s something special I can do to mark this last go-round?” I considered sending a coded message with the first letter of every paragraph, or peppering the prose with phrases in Spanish, or letting my 14-year-old sister write it to see if anyone would notice...
