...Washington's constricted calm is a smart contrast to the manic Travolta, who's channeling his strutting killer from Face/Off (an annoying switch from Shaw's steely British mercenary). Tony Scott, who did Top Gun and the earlier Washington movies Crimson Tide, Déjà Vu and Man on Fire, directs with his trademark gusto and a surfeit of many circling camera movements. A congestion of cars, arranged as carefully as clusters of Rockettes, isn't traffic; it's just the backdrop for a spectacular crash...
Americans don't need to use an SUV every time they go to the bathroom. Which helps explain why this spring a mainstream brand, Scott, started offering toilet paper made with 40% recycled fiber. Switching to such material could make a big difference: the NRDC estimates that if every household in the U.S. replaced just one 500-sheet roll of virgin-fiber TP a year with a roll made from 100% recycled paper, nearly 425,000 trees would be saved annually.

The plight of Republicans in Washington does not reflect the true standing of the party. To paraphrase Mark Twain, we believe the reports of the Republican Party's demise are greatly exaggerated. Scott Ward, President, Republican State Leadership Committee, Alexandria...
