...other hand if we don't do anything, have we served the church? So we asked our bishops to meet with us pretty late Sunday night - about 20 bishops came. We set up a laptop, logged on, got right in. They were astonished. They were flabbergasted. They were speechless. We said we need your counsel. What do we do? No decision was being made. I went back to the hotel and went to bed. They decided to take the information to the chancellor of the church David Booth Beers. Lay it before him and say, what do we do. They...
...strut her (and her stuntwomen's) stuff. "When I battle Wolverine," she says, "I'm not just sitting on the sidelines looking good. I'm out there taking action." In T3, Kristanna Loken plays a villain robot who's more than Schwarzenegger's match. Her role is nearly speechless, but her glower is eloquent. Besides, notes Loken, 23, "I don't think many women can say they got to beat up Arnold." Michelle Rodriguez, who turns 25 on July 12, is a valued member of the team in S.W.A.T.

...Khyentse Norbu's status as a beloved spiritual leader opens doors, it is also a potential obstacle. When he began selecting the all-Bhutanese cast last summer, several of those chosen to audition were so awed to be in his presence that they became speechless.

But these worries were mostly unfounded. The cast he ultimately assembled includes a folklore scholar who plays a monk, a monk trained in pure mathematics who plays...
...tell you, it's a good deal easier to explore the 12th century citadel these days. Your path might still be barred by curly horned cows, spotted pigs or women goatherds. You might still fall victim to silver-tongued shopkeepers who spring from tiny medieval doorways while you gaze, speechless, at magnificent sandstone palaces, ornate Jain temples or the finely wrought manors of the palace ?lite. But now you're less likely to find yourself ankle-deep in what used to be Jaisalmer's main impediment: human waste. Gone are the days when alleyways doubled as communal lavatories and just...
...Secretary of State James Kelly's visit to Pyongyang in October, when he confronted his hosts with evidence of a secret North Korean program for producing weapons-grade uranium. That meeting hardly proceeded according to North Korea's plan. North Korean Foreign Ministry officials were reportedly left all but speechless, having cheerfully assumed that Kelly was coming to town with an offer of renewed aid. Reports further suggest that Pyongyang had even readied the U.S.S. Pueblo, the spy ship North Korea captured in 1968, for return to Washington as a gesture of thanks...
