However, lest we concentrate too heavily on the asexuality of this film, it must be noted that femme fatales needn't be sexual superpowers. Great objects of male desire are invariably so much more than that. They are multi-dimensional, interesting women who flaunt their own indentities and resist being typified as silent, passive, objects of male interest. One thinks of Debra Winger as Joy, C.S. Lewis' love interest in "Shadowlands," or Meryl Streep as Karen von Blixen in "Out of Africa." The same principle holds true in light romance, from Meg Ryan's idiosyncratic and slightly neurotic Sally...
Whether he's at his office in Moscow or traveling abroad, Vladimir Zhirinovsky can't resist making bold statements about deadly new secret weapons or outlining his plans for Alaska. But after hours, he's just a regular...
Inside Edge's spring break issue is out. While FM tried desperately to resist the urge to comment on this monstrosity, it predictably couldn't resist.

I have had professors specifically state that my assignments in Computer Science classes will be examined for unusual duplication of other students' answers. I don't find this surprising in light of the cheating scandal in an introductory computer science class that rocked MIT a few years ago. If caught, punishment is harsh and the blemish irreparable...
...after 14 hours of debate, NATO Secretary-General Manfred Worner, who left a sickbed against his doctors' orders to preside, enthused that its vote marked "a decisive moment in the history of our alliance." So it was, though a somewhat ironic one. NATO was formed 45 years ago to resist any Soviet Bloc invasion of Western Europe, but its first shots fired in anger, if any are, will be a pre-emptive, not a defensive, act against antagonists having nothing to do with a Soviet empire that no longer exists. A NATO diplomat says the ministers in Brussels never even...
