...peaceful castle perched high above the Pedernales River--a castle, that is, with a turret, a crenelated roof and secret passageways--Robert Rodriguez is greeting his sons Rocket, Racer and Rebel as they emerge from their evening bath. Soon, perhaps after he whips up some beef tacos, rice and guacamole for dinner and plays with the kids a while, he will mosey down to the dungeon-dark studios he calls Los Cryptos and get to work. The sun is setting over the Hill Country outside Austin, but Dad's day is just getting started...
...troops who toppled him a week earlier. Under the deal, de Menezes will stay on as President, but has promised to replace the government.

"We condemn the terror," says Salambek Maigov, Chechen rebel President Aslan Maskhadov's representative in Moscow, "but neither the Kremlin nor we can control the situation any longer." Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to reassert his control. "Terrorists must be plucked out of the basements and caves and destroyed," he said after the attack on the rock festival. The tough...
