...general more grim than Strangelovian, who wants to weaponize the Hulk. He enlists a gung-ho Russian-English commando named Blonsky (Tim Roth) to chase him down, but once they all stop running around Rio and retreat to a more generically presented U.S., the idea that I needed a nice little rest began nagging at me. For the truth is that action sequences have become as predictable and stylized as - well, OK, your average opera. Helicopters routinely crash and burn, the befuddled soldiery stumble about unleashing firepower and mostly get offed for their effort. Heavy equipment, military and civilian, gets...
...With such gallant countries as co-hosts, it would be nice if more folks got an invitation. Although ticket demand is at an all-time high, according to UEFA, the nature of the venues guaranteed a scaled-down Euro2008.

If we're still waiting for serious climate legislation even 10 years from now, our chance to avert catastrophe will be gone...
...Military families wonder about the change, according to Joyce Raezer of the private National Military Family Association. "Boy, it's really nice to have these drugs," she recalls a military doctor saying, "so we can keep people deployed." And professionals have their doubts. "Are we trying to bandage up what is essentially an insufficient fighting force?" asks Dr. Frank Ochberg, a veteran psychiatrist and founding board member of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies...
