...average air traveler spends at least an hour and a half in the terminal, and the minicity inside Terminal 5 tries hard to occupy that time. The space is outfitted with free WiFi and XM radio, big screen TVs at every gate and plenty of outlets for recharging cell phones and laptops. There's a resident pharmacist, a day spa and later, if all goes as planned, there will be holiday concerts, art exhibits, and perhaps even theater and dance performances. Ten shops circle the atrium - the bustling heart of the blue-hued terminal, at the fork...
...popular eateries, including Del Posto, Balthazar and Rosa Mexicano. But the most uniquely New York dining feature in the terminal has got to be food delivery: at 10 "bars" scattered by the gates throughout the terminal, you can order from a food and beverage menu displayed on a touch screen, and have your prosciutto-and-fig panini or Tanqueray and tonic delivered directly to you.

The hearing is expected to last two days, but the case itself will most likely drag on well beyond next April's elections - in which Zuma, having trounced current president Thabo Mbeki in a head-to-head race for leadership of the ruling African National...
...robust movies enthralled action fans around the globe, and the leading actors were worked as hard as pre-teen seamstresses in a Guangzhou garment factory. (Li and Yeoh each made five other films that year.) Now both 45, they have lost little of their agility and none of their screen luster. Their duel atop the Great Wall of China is a reunion of titans, an Old Timers' Day for two actor-athletes still in their sinuous prime...
