...movies since then, but great films have always got the magazine's attention. Here, from film critics Richard Schickel and Richard Corliss, is the best film of each decade since Time began. Metropolis 1927; Fritz Lang Lang's epic poem of urban dystopia and class warfare set the standard for imagining the future - and how it might feel to be a part of it. Even now, in the age of cgi, his dark vision remains unsurpassed. Dodsworth 1936; William Wyler A tycoon goes to europe and eventually sheds glum responsibility (and a ditsy wife) in Loh and Behold Avant-garde...
...McDonald's in Europe? If so, Denis Hennequin, 46, the new president of McDonald's Europe, is just what the company--whose sales dipped 1.4% in May--may need. Hennequin, who started by managing a Parisian outlet, is already offering Evian and pastries at the French McDos and tweaking standard fare with Greek Macs and a "dollar menu" variant in Germany. Next up: develop McDonald's in Russia, launch sandwiches and remodel British restaurants this fall--perhaps even offer a "meat and chocolate" dish in Romania. No stranger to the short-order line, Hennequin might just flip the burger market...

Kelly, 38, is currently under indictment in Illinois for 14 counts of child pornography after he allegedly videotaped himself engaging in wildly inappropriate behavior with his 14-year-old goddaughter. You might think the stigma of such charges would have an effect on Kelly's 10-year reign as R&B's most beloved entendrist. You'd be wrong. His new album, TP.3 Reloaded, entered Billboard's album chart...
...official with access to classified information about covert personnel who intentionally exposes an operative, knowing that the U.S. "is taking affirmative measures to conceal" the operative's identity, can face up to 10 years in prison or a $50,000 fine or both. A similar section applies the same standard, but with lesser penalties, to an official who has security clearance in one area, learns the identity of a covert operative in another area, and intentionally discloses it. Part C states that any person, even someone not working for the government, who continually exposes covert operatives knowing that...
