...reality.Based on the first book in the James Bond series of the same name, “Casino Royale” opens with a beautifully shot black-and-white montage following the iconic character as he earns his “00” status after two assassinations in rapid succession, giving him license to kill. From the first scene, the film is intense and more or less keeps that tension up right until the end.His first assignment thereafter—given to him by M, played by the incomparable Judi Dench—is to stop the sinister...
...many Americans, the biggest appeal of partition is that it makes possible a relatively rapid U.S. exit from much of Iraq. If U.S. goals no longer include preserving national unity or establishing Western-style democracy, there is no need for U.S. troops in the Shi'ite south or Baghdad. We would leave behind a civil war and an Iran-dominated south, but that outcome would be no different if we were to stay with the current force levels and mission. One overriding interest in Iraq, however, is still achievable: that Iraq's Sunni areas not become a base from which...
...Rapid response to Republican attacks has been a key to Ford's unlikely strength in Tennessee. In early October, for example, the Republican candidate, Bob Corker, accused Ford of being pro-amnesty for illegal immigrants.

He felt several kicks to his chest and thighs, followed by rapid- fire questions: What was his name? Where did he live? Where did he work? What was his family's phone number? "They said, 'The sooner you give us a phone number to call, the sooner we contact your family, negotiate a ransom and let you go,'" Waddah says. A common persuasion technique employed by kidnappers is to call the family of the victim and let them...
...Massachussetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and the Massachussetts Turnpike Authority (MTA) are not generally known for their prudence. The half-baked Silver Line “bus rapid transit” project for Roxbury and the unending mess that is the Big Dig spring to mind, to name a just a couple of poor decisions. True to form, the recent decisions by the MBTA to raise public transportation fares and by the MTA to eliminate all turnpike tolls beyond Route 128 will prove to be a terrible tandem, encouraging people to hop off the T and back into their cars...
