...just wrapped up filming in Manila.

An expatriate American lawyer (Bill Pullman) is her lone advocate. "I get thrown into a soi, this cage in the ground for bad prisoners," says Danes.

The water in their swimming pool laps over its edge and into the Pacific Ocean. Mike spends his mornings teleconferencing with his secretary and barking into a cellular phone while...
...leader: one cutting-edge curriculum called MathLand is used, its publishers claim, in 60% of the state's K-6 classrooms--including those in Fernangeles, where MathLand is taught in both English and Spanish. It even has its own Website: 192.216.191.114/. "These kids will be better problem solvers," says Pullman. "They will think more...
