...CAPTURED. CHHOUK RIN, 51, former Khmer Rouge commander convicted in absentia in 2002 for his role in a deadly train raid; in Anlong Veng, Cambodia. In 1994 fighters led by Chhouk Rin attacked a train bound for the coastal city of Sihanoukville, killing 13 Cambodians and abducting Frenchman Jean-Michel Braquet, Briton Mark Slater and Australian David Wilson. The three backpackers were executed after ransom negotiations collapsed weeks later. Sentenced to life in prison but free while his case was being appealed, Chhouk Rin fled after the Supreme Court upheld his conviction and issued a warrant for his arrest...
...first memo, which actually dates from 1929, before the avalanche begins, brusquely dismisses Rin-Tin-Tin. The introduction of talking pictures, argues one Warner executive, has turned their canine star into just another unemployed hound, "very obviously, of course, because dogs don't talk."

You'll find everything from the Life and Times of Juniper Lee to The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin. But of the 14,000 shows in the database, only 2,500 of them have content that's fully fleshed out, so the idea is to have fans help fill in the rest.

...some lovely renderings of the literati themselves: scholars alone in their pavilions admiring nature, or meandering through the countryside on the backs of donkeys, or on a picnic?challenging one another to produce the best picture or most expressive calligraphy. One of the most charming is Yi Song Rin's 1748 Sage and Child Under the Moon and the Pine. Confucian philosophy acknowledges the centrality of man, the importance of learning, the appreciation of nature and the cycle of life. All are here, as the little boy, holding his lunch box in one hand and his scroll box under...
