...foodmakers began replacing "sat fats" with trans-fatty acids--unsaturated oils to which hydrogen has been added. This made the oils thick enough to use in baked products and margarine, gave packaged foods a longer shelf life and made all foods safer--or so it was thought. The new stuff was not listed as a fat, but if you saw a "hydrogenated" oil on an ingredient list, a trans fat is what...
...beautiful, 10 years younger - and bored out of her mind in Botswana. Her unhappiness eats away at Ray's sense of self-worth, as does her increasingly close epistolary friendship with Ray's gay and witty younger brother Rex, from whom he is estranged. This could all be the stuff of a fairly ordinary midlife crisis, albeit in an exotic setting, except for two things. One, the tender, funny eloquence with which Rush sketches Ray's distress.

In T3, Kristanna Loken plays a villain robot who's more than Schwarzenegger's match. Her role is nearly speechless, but her glower is eloquent. Besides, notes Loken, 23, "I don't think many women...
...This scene from Bayside Shakedown 2, a Japanese cop drama debuting on July 19, is a terrific movie moment precisely because it's so charming and modest. But are charm and modesty the stuff of a box-office blockbuster? Chihiro Kameyama, producer of some of Japan's most memorable TV and film hits over the past 15 years, is banking on it. In a conference room high atop Fuji TV's futuristic Tokyo office building, he seems positively serene just days before the highest-profile movie release of his career. Kameyama predicts that Bayside Shakedown 2 will...
