...chance that fiddling around with drinking hours is going to make British people into Italians," says Andrew McNeill, director of the protemperance Institute of Alcohol Studies, "is about as likely as my becoming the Archbishop of Canterbury." Allison says vacationing Brits' penchant for getting soused in countries that permit 24-hour tippling should stand as a warning. The law's effects will be limited anyway. In Croydon, although more than 200 bars have applied to stay open later, most want only an hour or two more--which would do little to discourage bingeing and would merely push after-hours carousing...
...handiwork more than Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, whose European trip last week was dubbed the "Secret Prisons Tour" by some U.S. diplomats. After months of relative silence from the Bush Administration on the topic of torture, Rice declared before taking off that the U.S. "does not permit, tolerate or condone torture under any circumstances."

What the CLC has neglected to consider, however, sheds light on a puzzlingly rigid viewpoint. Often, Felipe’s has more customers at 2 a.m. than at midnight...
...robot, and their own brotherly squabbles. The strengths of “Zathura” are the acting of the two brothers and their well-written, delightful banter. It’s tough to carry a movie when you are not old enough for a learner’s permit, but Bobo and Hutcherson are up to the challenge. I found myself laughing at some of the one-liners delivered by Bobo, a cute combination between a younger Macaulay Culkin and Rupert Grint (Ron from the “Harry Potter” series). His on-screen brother, Hutcherson, displays...
