...simple. BK's new Big King, an enormous double cheeseburger launched Labor Day weekend as a rival to the Big Mac, has sold at nearly twice the rate the company expected--about 3 million a day--and stores in Dallas, Miami and elsewhere are selling out. One downtown Chicago outlet upped its order from 2,000 Big King patties the first week to 5,000 last week, and manager Lolita Aldana says lunch lines have doubled. The secret to the American stomach, circa 1997? The Big King has 75% more beef than the Big Mac, an extra 12 grams...
...aired last week, featured a claim by the host that that the Jews "exaggerate what the Nazis did to them," and profit from it by inflating the number of victims. David Bar-Illan, a top adviser to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, replied: "It is regrettable that an official outlet of the Palestinian Authority has stooped to Holocaust denial, coupled with an allusion to Jewish venality and greed."

It's tricky balancing job, and another film might have transgressed these finely etched boundaries more boldly than "Shall We Dance?" does. But no such film would be half as enjoyable...
Nevada's Great Basin is a paranoid Holy Land, and no place is better suited for the job. Topography is destiny out here. It is the only region in North America where falling water has no outlet to the ocean (it lies trapped, then evaporates back into the atmosphere). The thin, spreading crust of the valley floors is notoriously unstable, agitated. Hot springs steam up through faults and fissures. Whirling dust devils dance across the flats. The mountain ranges are new, still rising, alive; perched on top of this tectonic tumult, the structures of civilization seem to teeter. The schools...
