...Hadrian's interest in Greece went beyond state security. "He wanted to become a Greek," says Anthony Birley, author of the biography Hadrian: The Restless Emperor. Hadrian admired Greek language and architecture, and became the first emperor to sport a beard, then fashionable in the Greek world. Busts of Hadrian display his lavish curls, which specially trained slaves coiffed with irons...
...right skin but the wrong tribe. Like the Wild Boy of Borneo, he is a reminder of instincts caged but not tamed by civilization. That such a creature has much to teach can be even more upsetting. So it is not the natives who are restless. Fairley, the harmless handyman of the good-hearted family that shelters him, stirs paranoia among the ignorant and the intolerant. Like the branches of their clans who thrived on slave labor in the American South, these early Queenslanders worry about uprisings and the loss of racial identity...
...yesterday's man. That is how some of today's young lions in the townships see Mandela. They do not like Mandela's sharing even a podium with De Klerk, for to them sharing means equating, and De Klerk is the enemy. It is these young people who are restless with the snail's pace of change, who wonder why freedom must be negotiated at all. This would not be the first time the Nobel Peace Prize was premature. Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho won the award in 1973, but the fighting in Vietnam continued for two more years...

The tourist's mind accepts this fifth-grade geography stunner, but his blood and bone do not. They are roiled by restless energy, and they want to order another drink, carry it outside and watch the sun not set. (Whap! Smack! Fierce four-engine mosquitoes alter this plan instantly.) Roadlessness accounts for some of the newcomer's sense of dislocation. You can drive from Jersey City to Anchorage, a matter of some...
...educated star of the Mummy movies; his reassuring blandness is the very definition of the word Canadian. Hutcherson, who was Will Ferrell's son in Kicking and Screaming and the older brother in Favreau's Zathura, survives the early part of the film, where he's obliged to be restless and annoying, and emerges as an acceptable young hero. The film gets a big boost from Briem, a young Icelandic actress who is both angel-cool and sorceress-hot. (She's for the target kids' older brothers.) Her role is a rare one for this sort of film: a woman...
