...Step Brothers is the latest chapter in Ferrell's exploration of the man who is not nearly as cool as he thinks he is. (That's a figure familiar for decades through Bob Hope and Steve Martin films, and in TV shows like Get Smart.) With a story assist from Reilly, Ferrell wrote the script with Adam McKay, a fellow alumnus of Saturday Night Live and director of two Will winners, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The new movie also explores the comic notion of man-child that goes back...
...Bertrand's own wording belied a glaring incongruity in the law: while it allows employers to demand that workers spend more time at work, 35 hours remains the reference length of the French workweek. That's a smart move, since polls show the French are fond of the 35-hour week, and quashing it outright could prove unpopular...

...Boost phase provides certain other opportunities for the defender. As missiles rocket through the atmosphere, their thrusters emit a hot, bright tail of fire, making them an excellent target for heat-seeking infrared sensors. SDI researchers hope to develop small, inexpensive but highly accurate self-guided missiles known as ''smart rocks,'' which could home in on a rapidly moving missile or warhead and destroy it by force of impact. But if boost-phase kill is attractive, it is not easily achieved. Because infrared sensors cannot ''see'' around the curve of the earth, they must be in an orbit high enough...
