...Even among widely traveled Chinese, it's still hard to find someone who believes that the bombing was anything but deliberate. Take Hu Xijin, a former foreign correspondent who is now editor of the Global Times, a feisty offshoot of the People's Daily. Hu boasts that the rising circulation of his international affairs-oriented paper demonstrates changing Chinese attitudes to the outside world, especially America: "Chinese people are much more realistic about the United States, and that means their reactions are less extreme."

But Harrison shows Topher Gracean charm as a guy stuck between adolescence and adulthood, and Philip Baker Hall (Magnolia) steals every scene as his gruff, insensitive boss. If the writing...
Virtually no one foresaw Hamas' surge. Pre-election polls generally gave Hamas, which was founded in 1987 as an offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, about a third of the vote.
