...Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (FLDS), was found guilty of two counts of being an accomplice to the rape of a 14-year-old girl, known throughout the trial as "Jane Doe IV," by forcing her into marriage with her first cousin, Allen Steed. In a town that is a 50-50 split between old Mormon residents and newcomers with more liberal politics and lifestyles - a split echoed in the makeup of the eight-person jury - it was a gamble for both sides. Would Mormons harbor secret sympathy for polygamists, or come down harder...
...burgundy Escalade on a routine traffic stop. Sitting in the back was Jeffs, who has been on the FBI's Most Wanted List since May with a $100,000 reward for any tips leading to his capture. One of his estimated 40 wives, Naomi Jeffs, and his brother Isaac Steed Jeffs were with him as well as a number of on-the-run travel essentials, including: several wigs, $67,500 in cash, 14 cell phones, a radar detector, two GPS systems, seven sets of keys, a photograph of Jeffs and his father, and a Bible and a Book of Mormon...
...tinges the imams voice, Ahmad feels in his own self a desire to rise up and crush him, as God roasted that poor worm at the center of the spiral. The student's faith exceeds the master's; it frightens Shaikh Rashid to be riding the winged white steed of Islam, its irresistible onrushing. He seeks to soften the Prophets words, to make them blend with human reason, but they were not meant to blend: they invade our human softness like a sword. Allah is sublime beyond all particulars. There is no God but He, the Living, the Self-Subsistent...
...direct the film and play Alatriste, but talks with the movie's producers fell through. Mortensen was a fortunate catch. A New Yorker raised in Latin America, he is fluent in Spanish and, as he showed in The Lord of the Rings, can handle both a sword and a steed. Says Pérez-Reverte: "Viggo is so good, so in his role, that now it's difficult to imagine Captain Alatriste with another face." Except perhaps his own. "Alatriste is not me," insists the former war correspondent, who spent two decades covering conflicts in Africa and the Balkans...
...traveled the world's nightclubs undercover and barely covered, Diana Rigg donned the catsuit of justice as superhot, supercool British spook Emma Peel. The plots seem frothy in retrospect--in one, an alien artichoke threatens mankind. But the quick-witted, flirty interplay between Mrs. Peel and bowler-hatted John Steed (Patrick Macnee) never gets old. This massive set collects all 51 Peel episodes plus three rare Avengers, a making-of film and more. Crisply written and sophisticated, it's a stylish time capsule of the mid-'60s apex of British mod-era style...
