...stranded tourists strolled off the roadway and into the lodgepole pine forest, now lush with colorful alpine wildflowers amid the new trees and burned logs from the great wildfires of 1988. Purple-petaled wild daisies sprang from flat, dried buffalo chips along the same route used by Chief Joseph's Nez Perce Tribe at this time in 1877 as they made their 1,800-mile running battle with the U.S. Army trying to reach asylum in Canada. Now, the Commander-in-Chief was flying over the same ground, seeing some of the same natural wonders, but traveling rapidly above...
...Benjamin Perceval (B.P.) Schulberg, who became the production boss at Paramount, the most glamorous of the young studios. For Budd, as he wrote in the memoir Moving Pictures, Hollywood "was Home Sweet Home, a lovely place to play with lions and alligators, to ride my bike down lanes of pine and pepper trees, and to make lemonade from my own lemon tree." While B.P. rode herd over Cecil B. De Mille and Ernst Lubitsch, Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich, the teenage Budd enjoyed the attention of his father's sexy stars.

...authors of the study are reluctant to draw such broad conclusions about the gender disparities. "There are many different possible explanations," says NIMH neuroscientist Daniel Pine, who suggests a much more ordinary reason for the girls' more emotional response.

...than with Tom Cruise's waning star power. On his Enterprise enterprise Abrams summoned Leonard Nimoy out of a black hole to play an elder Mr. Spock, and Eric Bana, star of the lambasted Ang Lee version of The Hulk, for the bad-guy role of Nero. But Chris Pine (young Kirk) and Zachary Quinto (young Spock) are actors not previously seen on a movie marquee; they might not even be in FaceBook. The film's biggest on-screen name is probably Winona Ryder, hard to recognize as (gasp!) Spock's human...
...next time we see young Jim - in an energetic Spielberg-influenced sequence - he's a bratty Iowa farm boy of about 11, stealing a car and fulfilling every stereotype of a kid lacking a proper father-figure (his mother is "off-planet"). Flash forward another decade and Kirk (Chris Pine) is a townie, living in the shadow of a Starfleet campus, which looms over the cornfields like a scarily large silo. He's still a brat, but also brawny and possessing a William Shatner-esque swagger. No wonder he catches the eye of a recruiter. (Read 10 Questions with William...
