...advocated hurling bricks through the windows of Congress members who support giving illegal immigrants the same rights as U.S. citizens. Those bricks, he says, should be used to build a wall sealing the U.S. off from Mexico. He argues that the open borders facilitate drug trafficking and the sexual exploitation of immigrant women...
More than half of all foster teens who get adopted are adopted by their foster parents. All states require prospective foster parents and those who adopt from the foster-care system to take a training program to prepare them for issues that range from coping with the horrors of sexual or physical abuse to the banalities of eating dinner as a family or observing curfews.

Lou Ye's Summer Palace, the only Asian film in the competition, boldly depicted the Tiananmen Square revolt of 1989 but was more concerned with the sexual politics of its heroine (the sulkily charismatic Hao Lei). She and her sex scenes were hot stuff, but the movie's critical response was tepid. Three war movies also failed to astound: Ken Loach's The Wind That Shakes the Barley, a predictable rendering of the 1920 Irish battle...
