...that another way: his work is relaxed without being slack, affectionate without going sentimental. Above all, he leaves his actors room to breathe, to live, as it were, between the script's lines. Zellweger blooms in this context. Her naivete is radical, of course, but that imparts a fierce serenity to her quest. Mostly, the people she encounters on the road and in Los Angeles quickly come to understand that she is off her rocker--except the soap-opera folk, who think she's an actress going to any lengths for a job--but there is such sweetness...

While the Aug. 9 voluntary recall has created a run on tires for the popular Ford Explorer SUV and Ranger pickups, rivals like Michelin and Goodyear have gladly picked up the slack. Close to 900,000 of the 15-in. Radial ATX, ATX II and certain Wilderness AT models linked to 62 deaths have been exchanged.

The Honolulu native taught himself the acoustic slack-key guitar (resting on the lap, it is played with one hand manipulating the strings and the other moving a steel bar). He then adapted the Hawaiian style to almost every form of music percolating through vaudeville, speakeasies and grange halls.
