...called "gas bombs." Kong is KO'd, brought back to NYC where he is put on display. Photographers stir him up: "Stop! He thinks you're attacking the girl!" He breaks through his chains in a fearsome rage, trashes an elevated subway train, eats a man in a pin-stripe suit, and plucks a young woman right out of her bed. She's no Ann, though, and he drops her - literally. Somehow he finds Ann and takes her to the top of the Empire State Building. He puts her down and biplanes attack with lethal machine guns. He falls...
...bombing campaign, NATO was rallying to the defense of helpless ethnic Albanians and their brave champions in the Kosovo Liberation Army who were fighting a David-vs.-Goliath struggle against Belgrade's genocidal army.

Caen, who died four years ago this month at the age of 80, wrote a columns with items held in a perfect balance. He shaped the image of Baghdad-by-the-Bay for generations of San Franciscans, long before anyone thought...
...Road" films (the five major ones are the '40s visits to Singapore, Zanzibar, Morocco, Utopia - Alaska - and Rio) were screwy, all right, but pretty shrewd as character comedy of a high, broad stripe. With the help of their writers, Crosby and Hope perfected two hardy comic types: Bing the lordly overdog, smart and charming enough to get other folks to volunteer for the sucker's game; and Bob the scruffy underdog, too used to losing, too stubborn to give up. Bing was Bugs to Bob's Daffy; Dean Martin to his Jerry; Bill Murray to Hope's Martin Short...
