...Worlds. Other kid actors might be imps and scamps, but Fanning located the gravity and peril in childhood. Now she is negotiating early adolescence with the same poise. She recently survived the indie movie Hounddog, a heaping plate of refried Southern Gothic (known at Sundance as "the Dakota Fanning rape movie") in which she plays another backwoods unfortunate who says in the first scene, "I'm gonna kill my daddy one day." Bees is, by comparison, a pleasant stroll in the Carolina woods...

A vote for Barack Obama would give the ultimate power over the issue of life to a politician who has never once done anything to protect the unborn...
...convicted of bribing Zuma in relation to a $10 billion arms deal, and was jailed for 15 years. Mbeki sacked Zuma as his deputy in the national presidency, and Zuma was later charged with corruption in connection with the same case, and also put on trial on a rape charge. But Zuma staged a remarkable comeback. He was acquitted of the rape charge in 2006, and the corruption case against him was twice thrown out, most recently last month, when the judge also criticized "baleful political interference" in the case - a clear reference to Mbeki's camp.
