...must-see and can't-bear-to-look. Go on, take a stroll in the woods (in Shyamalan's The Village) when you've been told that monsters lurk there. Or a dip in the ocean (in the low-budget thriller Open Water) when you're left stranded as shark bait. Try to wash out that feeling of dread by shampooing your hair (in the Japanese spookathon Ju-on: The Grudge). You begin to rub in the shampoo--and for a moment you feel a third hand, corpse cold, massaging your scalp...
...presence is unquestionably illegal. But the foreign fishers have few alternatives. Almost all of them are from Merauke, a village in Indonesia's Irian Jaya, about 145 nautical mi. (270 km) to the northwest. If they can avoid detection, the men could bring home a spectacular catch of shark fin (which can sell for $A200 a kg) and retire. The court houses and lock-ups on Thursday Island and in the Arnhem Land town of Nhulunbuy are stretched due to an official crackdown on FFVs. In 2003, 138 vessels were apprehended, mostly in northern waters; this year the tally...
...minutes later, Cummins makes radio contact with the tender. The boarding party has been successful; there's been no struggle. A preliminary search has found evidence of shark fin, fresh blood, baited hooks, long lines, three floats and a compass.

...talk and emotions and anger and empathy--the constant torrent of the man--seem all too familiar, there are some new twists as well. He has been through intense family therapy--a year of it after the Lewinsky scandal--and religious counseling. After moving through life like a shark, always forward, always thinking about tomorrow, in the words of his overutilized campaign song, he has spent an awful lot of time thinking about yesterday, in therapy and in writing the book. As a result, Clinton has settled on a starkly psychological explanation for his behavior. ("I believe in this...
...says Italy has been watching this show for centuries: "Italians can talk about nothing for hours. Our theatrical tradition is rather modest because the real theater is in the streets, in the shops, in Parliament." In other countries, faced with declining ratings, the plotline has begun to jump the shark tank of acceptable television behavior. The German edition earlier this year featured ongoing hot tub orgies, and in mid-June the British show was visited by police after a fight broke out in the house. But in Italy, it's all about the gab. Fausto Enni, one of the Italian...
