...girlfriend back home and is promptly killed. That information also gives Swagger a rare ally (pretty, stalwart Kate Mara, who played Heath Ledger's daughter in Brokeback Mountain) once he's on the run from Washington, D.C., to Tennessee, which he calls "the patron state of shootin' stuff." (The always authoritative Levon Helm has an excellent cameo here as a Yoda of gun lore.) His other helper is a rookie FBI agent (World Trade Center's Michael Pena), who does a lot of Internet research before he joins Swagger and gets to blow up some traitors...

"People will teach it as a Sunday-school class. And we'll do what we always do when unconstitutional stuff happens in America. We'll get a court to tell us what to do, and then...

Instead, the technology allows the pair to oversee the process remotely via television monitors in their cells. The goal, says Roget, is not to boost production but rather to allow the monks more time for spiritual activities. The monks' vocation "is not to make liqueur but to pray," he says...
...curricular review legislation, slated for introduction at the next full meeting of the Faculty in April. The council is in the process of translating the recommendations of the general education report into that legislation. “We did not go over substantive issues so much as strategic, procedural stuff, the grunt work to prepare a very complex piece of legislation,” Mendelsohn said. The final version of the general education report was released in February, and the legislation drawn from it should be circulated as early as this week, according to Mendelsohn.
