ATLANTA: The numbers are starting to come in, and the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games is breathing a collective sigh of relief with the news that the games will probably turn a slim profit.

The put-upon pooch will then save Wallace in a breathless climax whose brio and ingenuity shame any live-action thriller...
