...start, though, it's clear that Swords is a martial-arts movie of a different metal. The recent wuxia work of Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou?art-house directors who dipped into the popular genre?fused poetry with action. Heroes soared through the air as though composed of pure light. Swords, however, is fixed firmly to the earth, a production of dust and blood and stone. In the jolting opening scene, the villainous Fire-wind's (Sun Hong-lei) army mows through an innocent town with all the subtlety of a chain saw. Dressed like members of some death-metal...
...yorkers may demur, but nothing beats a genuine Chicago hot dog. For the uninitiated, that's a pure beef frankfurter, made with natural casing and covered with a lurid kaleidoscope of toppings: yellow mustard, emerald green relish, white onion, juicy red tomato, forest green pickles, and tiny, olive-colored chilies, known locally as "sport peppers." Served with celery salt in a poppy-seed bun, this great Chicago tradition (pictured above) typically sells for less than...
...Despite the jocular tone of the exchange, Bush?s comments could have immense fallout. The president has gone farther in questioning the widely-taught theories of evolution and natural selection than any president since Ronald Reagan, who advocated teaching creationism in public schools alongside evolution. ?Intelligent design? is not pure creationism.

Why? Because the circle is so pure and perfect that reason must reject anything less. "With your ellipse," Fabricius wrote Kepler, "you abolish the circularity and uniformity of the motions, which appears to me increasingly absurd the more profoundly I think about it." No matter that, using Tycho Brahe's most exhaustive astronomical observations in history, Kepler had empirically demonstrated that the planets orbit elliptically...
...does Time give America's sworn enemies a forum in which to spew their venom? I do not need you to show me America's enemies in this war. I saw their face in the blood and fire of the World Trade Center, and it is the face of pure evil. Those suicide bombers don't need to be understood. They need to be eradicated. Lewis B. Smith Greenville, Texas, U.S. The Jihadist suicide bomber and his like are cowardly egocentrics. Uppermost in the bomber's mind is the promise that he will enter paradise immediately upon dying...
