Then why did it feel so bad? Why did a bullet dodged feel like the beginning of something and not the end? Minutes after the news broke, counterterrorist experts popped up on TV screens like Pez dispensers to remind us that our homeland-security system is ill equipped to stop the kind of attack the suspected London bombers were said to be planning. President George W. Bush warned against false comfort, saying although he believes the U.S. is more secure than it was before 9/11, "we're still not completely safe." Worst of all, the Brits, who can normally...
...Aside from the darling Olive (Abigail Breslin), Frank is really the heart of this sweet film, and it turns out to be perfectly fitting that he has devoted his heretofore empty life to Marcel Proust. Frank's associations with Proust are only mentioned here and there (he likes to remind the family that he is a renowned Proust scholar while he's helping them push their disabled VW bus), but Proust is implicit in the film's best aspects. Frank moves in with his sister's family while he recovers from a suicide attempt after a particularly painful break...
...March, the whack-a-mole players gained a new weapon in their fight when the U.S. Treasury announced that any U.S. company found to be doing business with Al-Manar will be subject to sanctions and possible prosecution.

"I want the movies I'm in to remind me of things I spent Saturday afternoons watching as a kid and then went home and pretended to be in." The Star Wars prequels satisfied his Errol Flynn swordplay fantasies. Shaft let him be the urban John Wayne. Snakes on a Plane, out Aug. 18, fulfills his love of B-movie...
...head all the time. Indeed, as W.H. Auden wrote in "Musée des Beaux Arts," his beautiful poem about how life goes on in the midst of tragedy, "everything turns away quite leisurely from the disaster." But it's our job as journalists to do the opposite: to remind you not to turn away. To me, one of our tasks is to take you to another world, in this case, a world that while remote from many of us affects all of us. TIME's job is to help you understand that world, to put the news...
