...brief glimpses of General Radek (Jurgen Prochnow) plunge us back into the Cold War: As he strides across the prison yard in highly decorated military uniform, he looks the epitome of a maniacal tyrant. But it's Oldman's performance as Korshunov that gives the film its tension and intensity, adding layers to his character's coolly calculating role with outbursts of frightening patriotic zeal for "Mother Russia." There is also a revealing moment when Korshunov gently kisses Alice on the forehead and strokes back her hair from her tear-stained face, suggesting that beneath the seemingly cold-blooded terrorist...
BANGKOK, Thailand: Pol Pot, the infamous and reclusive Cambodian leader, has been tried and sentenced to life in prison at a mass rally in Anlong Veng, according to Nate Thayer, a reporter for the Far Eastern Economic Review who witnessed the show trial on Friday. ABC News will broadcast Thayer's videotape tonight on Nightline.

Toins worries that neither Tyrone nor Terrance, her only children, understands the seriousness of what he is up against. "I don't think that it has sunk in that they may never get out in their lifetime," says...
...though, that some of the recent talk about a surge in "women's music" could be seen as a veiled slur. The music women make is too varied for a single category, and the mediagenic notion of some sort of "female sound" could turn into a kind of velvet prison. Women, of course, have been major players in music throughout the rock era, so the idea that gals with guitars is something new is an insult to such folk-pop pioneers as Odetta and Joan Baez.
