...opponents, all veterans of previous races, include Afro-dude Machine Gun Joe (Tyrese Gibson), the neo-Nazi Pachenko (Max Ryan), an ex-NASCAR, now NAStyCAR driver named Travis (Justin Mader) and the martial-artistic 14K (Robin Shou). When they're not playing bumper cars, they're taunting one another or spitting in a rival's food - animals marking their turf. Each driver is given a navigator, a babe on loan from a nearby women's prison, and Ames's is Case (Natalie Martinez), who has pneumatic skills of her own. Sitting next to him in their two-seater Ford Mustang...
...young job-hoppers, a calling card offers not only a sense of permanence but also a chance for self-expression. In June, Mitch Stripling, an emergency planner who recently moved to New York City, printed cards with cell-phone, e-mail and descriptor ("neo Victorian calling card thingy") info for his 10-year college reunion in an effort to reconnect with people he knew he wouldn't have a chance to speak with at length.

...both a nationalist and an internationalist. He loved Hollywood movies - as a young man he went to Los Angeles, studying acting at the Pasadena Playhouse - and he learned as much from their robust pace as he did from the gritty humanism of Italian neo-realist films and the romantic sweep of Indian cinema in its postwar Golden Age. He was both an art-house auteur and a director of popular hits, at least in the Arab crescent. He made political points, often different ones in different movies, but his didacticism was typically overwhelmed by his irrepressible urge to entertain...
...murder illustrates how Hispanic gangs in U.S. cities are spreading their terror all over Central America. Deported to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, these delinquents not only imported the mystique of U.S. gang culture - its neo-Nazi tattoos, rap music, baggy trousers and "homey" slang - but they also brought crack cocaine, semi-automatic weapons, home-made bombs and a level of calculated aggression not seen in the region since the insurgencies and counterinsurgencies...
