...prepare for your demonical and mesmerizing role in Sexy Beast? Did it require several takes to get it right? -Mark Ginsburg in Chicago, Ill.Mark, you're going to be really disappointed. I was stuck in L.A. in a film that went over and over and over, and I nearly lost Sexy Beast as a role because the company said, 'We can only wait for Kingsley for 12 more hours.' They finally got rid of me in L.A. I landed in Spain and the next day I did the film in the airport. It was pure, pure intuition. Of course...
...other side are the Chinese, who adopted a currency peg of about eight RMB to the dollar to stabilize their economy in 1994 and stuck to it even when there was great pressure to devalue after the Asian currency crises of 1997. Since 2005 the Chinese have allowed an 8% rise in the renminbi's value, but they are deeply suspicious of those who urge faster change.

Though the DPJ won a landslide victory, the party's approval ratings are barely higher than...
...garish, bejeweled wife of wealthy televangelist Jim Bakker and the co-host of the Jim and Tammy Show. Yet by the '90s, as her husband was disgraced by his marital infidelities and served a prison sentence for defrauding followers, Tammy Faye Messner began to look more spiritual. She stuck with Bakker as their multimillion-dollar PTL (Praise the Lord) empire crumbled, finally divorcing him in 1992. She promoted her faith, made fun of herself on Roseanne and other sitcoms and supported gay rights. ("We're all just people made of the same old dirt," she said.) After learning...
