...before it entered the tunnel at 12:25 a.m. on Aug. 31. Two off-duty chauffeurs standing near the tunnel entrance heard the roar of the motor as the Mercedes downshifted and accelerated. Directly in front of the speeding vehicle, they said, was a dark-colored sedan moving at normal speed. (The speed limit in the tunnel is 30 m.p.h.) They saw the Mercedes swerve into the left lane in an attempt to pass the car. Once the two vehicles entered the tunnel, these witnesses lost sight of them. But they immediately heard a loud crash followed by the droning...
...long-term effect of this isolation appears to be a generation of juvenile delinquents. "The whole thing has much to do with the setup of elephant society," says zoologist Marian Garai, a Swiss-born South African who has been studying the relocation. Under normal circumstances, she says, a dominant older male elephant is around to keep young bulls in line.

Don't underestimate their power if the description appears stripped down--when the music kicks in, Letter To Cleo shuts out all else and brings the audience to them...
...opens with a grainy home video--which sets the stage for the gritty, almost monochromatic texture of the rest of the movie--of an apparently happy, eminently normal family gathered together for a birthday party. The story then cuts to 20 years later, with the annual Thanksgiving reunion with the folks (Roy Scheider and Blythe Danner). This year, all four children show up: Mia (Julianne Moore), Jake (Michael Vartan), Leigh (Laurel Holloman), and, somewhat unexpectedly, the long-absent Warren (Noah Wyle). Significant others are in attendance: Mia's boyfriend, Elliot (Brian Kerwin); Jake's girlfriend, Margaret (Hope Davis); and, flitting...
