...from the nation's billboards and Jumbotrons, Sato is the face of Japan's latest film fashion: a slew of classic cartoons remade as live-action movies. Forget about Spider-Man 2, this summer's much-hyped American comic-book film; Spidey is just a gaijin in a tight suit. From the lithe, demon-slaying Devilman to the clunky robot Iron Man 28, Japan has its own superhero pantheon that is ripe for recycling on the big screen. The Japanese love of cartoon heroes started with the birth in 1952 of Astro Boy and has continued unabated?the average citizen...
...Class Day speakers have included the likes of Mother Teresa, Walter Cronkite, Hank Aaron, Ralph Nader and Conan O'Brien. Last week the satirical British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, better known as the faux hip-hop journalist ALI G, joined the distinguished ranks. Wearing a skullcap, matching track suit emblazoned "Professor of Erbology" and chains, Ali G addressed "da most cleverest of students in America" and their parents with a homily that, in his inimitably maladroit manner, touched on everything from sex, drugs and pornography to famous Harvard grads like "Lyndon Baines Johnson, or, as he is known, J.F.K...
...control. Before his court appearance, Lukovic's attorney had promised his client would provide "irrefutable evidence" proving who was behind the killing.

Something has to be cleared up." He went into hiding that night, but turned himself in to Belgrade police last month...
...interviewed Ronald Reagan once, on an airplane, during the 1980 presidential campaign. I imagined myself an aggressive young reporter in those days, and I had prepared a series of incendiary questions that I have long since forgotten. Reagan was wearing a brown suit; his red foulard was tied in a Windsor knot. His hair swooped dramatically; his cheeks were an odd wax-museum rouge. We shook hands and came out fighting. At least I did. He cocked his head, smiled and flicked me off his sleeve. An entirely unnerving experience, but not untypical. Reagan's sunny opacity was legendary, especially...
...played football for eight years," Reagan protested. "Gipp weighed five pounds less than I weigh right now." The producer was still dubious. The problem, Reagan saw, was that he was wearing a business suit, and the producer envisioned a behemoth in helmet and shoulder pads. Reagan raced home, gathered up some pictures of himself in uniform, raced back to the studio and won the part. It made him famous, and years after he performed Gipp's death scene, he would still get "a lump in my throat ... just thinking about...
