Regardless of its scope, an accident that can be classified as nuclear--like the one at the JCO uranium-processing plant at Tokaimura, not far from Tokyo [WORLD, Oct. 11]--seems to get wide media coverage.

At others, it attempts to be the defining film concerning love at the end of the millennium (cringe). In the inimitable style of a Calvin Klein commercial, actors speak directly into the camera, offering insightful comments such as "it's just sex" or "sex without love...
