...Khan's private declarations to his lawyers cannot be censored, and it is those that the Intelligence Committee will examine. His allegations come at a time when Congress is considering passage of a new intelligence bill that would effectively outlaw many of the CIA's interrogation methods by forcing the Agency to use only those techniques permitted in the U.S. Army Field Manual...
...studios wanted him to be (a romantic hero such as those he played in 10 Things I Hate About You and A Knight's Tale, his first two big hits) and the more renegade figures he was drawn to (Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, the iconic Australia outlaw in Ned Kelly or the junkie in Candy). "I wanted to scrub it all away," he said of his early forays into stardom, "and start again, to see what my abilities are, if there are any." He was hard on himself and on his performances, but wounded by criticism from others...
...Those behind the new effort to outlaw Scientology believe their prospects have improved since 1997.

The team rocketed to prominence in the 1980s by showcasing what fans and critics alike called thug-ball...
...them is really playing Dylan. They're playing fictions named Jude and Billy and so forth, each of them a fictionalized aspects of the icon's life and the problems he has encountered living it. The black lad represents the soulful yearnings of his art, Gere plays his outlaw impulses, while others engage with his romantic and marital difficulties. Blanchett does him at the height of drug and celebrity-addled fame, which Haynes largely shoots in a Fellini-like manner (at one point she is obliged to wrestle around with the Beatles), which may not be the wisest possible choice...
