...other problems discomfit him. Stuart, his son by his first wife, has suddenly dropped out of his university studies in mathematics, renounced sex, and proclaimed his intention to help others and to lead a good life. His cynical father comments, "He wants to be like Job, always in the wrong before God, only he's got to do it without...
...Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a demonstration - worse, a celebration - of the dead end Hollywood movies have hit. Fortunately, Cannes offered a palate cleanser, a detoxification, in the form of Stuart Samuels' documentary Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream.

...Britain's Disability Discrimination Act, passed in 1995, stipulates that businesses - including transport firms - must take "reasonable steps" to remove physical barriers. However, expense is often a powerful deterrent to rectifying outdated or thoughtless planning. According to Stuart Ross, spokesman for Transport for London (TfL), the capital's public transport agency, converting an Underground station can cost between $6 million and $185 million. TfL officials estimate it will take five years to make 25% of stations accessible, and 15 years to make 50% of them accessible. But unlike the Underground, London's buses will all be accessible by next year...
