...there.” Beyond Haviland, the starting pitching picture is a bit murkier, but one candidate—flame-throwing frosh Adam Cole—has emerged as an early favorite to nail down a weekend spot. Despite Cole’s greenness, Walsh says his big-time stuff and bulldog mentality have the skipper prepared to throw the righty straight into the collegiate baseball fire. “Adam is a 90-91 guy with a nasty slider,” Walsh says. “He may be one of the best athletes...
...Editing Oscar is the savviest predictor for Best Picture. The theory is that people, even Academy members, don?t know much about the craft of editing-the extent to which the cuts in a film are determined by the script-so they vote for the movie with the most stuff going on.

But mixed among the ideas, planners included an out-of-the-box proposal that would allow private clinics to offer certain services currently available only under Medicare and--gadzooks!--charge the patients directly for them...
...agenda than aerobatic martial arts. The brothers, who wrote the Vendetta script that James McTeigue spiffily directed, are back in top form--not larding political meaning on an action plot but finding a seamless blending of the two. Whether you're mindless or Mensa, you'll find stuff here to challenge and trouble you, the way a good piece of speculative fiction should...
