TIME: How are you like Eva Peron - and how do you think you represent Argentina's national character? FERNANDEZ: I bring a lot of passion to my life and my politics - I don't mind saying there is a very strong Latin component to it. I'm a daughter of the middle class with a strong sense of social mobility and individualism, like the waves of immigrants, like my Spanish grandparents, who made Argentina. But Eva was a unique phenomenon in Argentine history, so I'm not foolish enough to compare myself with her. Women of my generation...
...Some critics, such as Albert Mohler, President of the Southern Baptist Convention's Southern Theological Seminary, see the movement as hardwired for scandal. "The Charismatic movement is so driven by emotion and by passion that it sometimes lacks both theological and moral accountability," he says. Others, such as Tim Morgan, an editor at Christianity Today, see it as a more organizational problem - the absence of the kind of internal oversight common in mainline Protestantism and more recently in non-Pentecostal Evangelicalism.

Also, Ye’s extremely attractive lady...
...science fiction. Over the course of the year the group shares their life problems while struggling to understand how Austen would approach a modern world. While anyone with rudimentary knowledge of Austen’s works will delight in seeing a big-screen discussion of whether Mr. Knightley lacks passion, there is a certain dampness to the screenplay that doesn’t quite bring these characters to life. Blunt, Bello, and Brenneman are strong actresses, but clunky dialogue wastes their talents. While they all do their best to make the audience sympathize with their characters, the forced lines create...
