...taking, ultra-gritty finale, in which Thorne and his team of mercenaries attempt a daring rescue operation, is reminiscent of the best work of Michael Mann. And yet the finale is also the only point in the movie in which Hackford the storyteller is truly allowed to cast his spell-too much of the film feels curbed, dramatically and emotionally, to allow the story to blossom into the white-knuckle suspense ride that it so staunchly demands to be. The game of hostage negotiation is clearly a high-wire act, yet everything is so laid out that we never...
...light of such feelings, a community advisory committee has been established, effectively breaking the silent spell with a community meeting on Oct. 19. The 15 members represent groups involved with Arts on the Point, like the Columbia-Savin Hill Civic Association, the Boston Harbor Association, the Massachusetts State Archives, Boston College High School, the John F.

In phone calls, over sandwiches, during chance hallway encounters, moderates from both parties talked about how they might join forces as never before. Improbable as it sounds, the 107th Congress could actually pass...
FOOD FLIGHT The prospect of rubbery chicken and overdone pasta is enough to make frequent flyers want to grab a bite before getting on a plane. Now research shows that a snack and drink (nonalcoholic) an hour before flying reduces the odds of a heart attack or fainting spell while on board. Don't overdo it with a heavy meal, but nourishment increases blood flow, which in turn delivers more oxygen to the body's organs--including the brain and probably the heart...
