Lest you think Calkins is a complete nerd, he's anything but. He fully realizes that Gibson, with his perky antenna-like tail and endearingly clunky legs, can be a chick magnet. If that doesn't impress, Calkins will sweep back his bleach-blond hair and rattle off the weekend's coolest parties in northern California. Still, Calkins isn't just content teaching his techno-pooch frat-boy tricks like kicking a ball or rolling over. He's into exploring Gibson's inner qualities: Calkins has backward-engineered his pet, methodically investigating his dog's software to see exactly what...
...episode began when a pair of F-8s scrambled from the Lingshui air base on Hainan Island and began shadowing the U.S. plane. Wang brushed twice within 5 ft. of the U.S. plane before he misjudged and flew his jet's tail through the EP-3E's left outboard propeller. "The first thing I thought," Osborn recalled Saturday, "was this guy just killed us." The F-8 broke in half, slicing off the EP-3E's nose and disabling the right wing's inner engine. Wang fell to his death along with the flaming wreckage. The U.S. plane plunged into...

About 20 min. after the midair collision, the EP-3E made a hair-raising landing, unable to slow down because its braking wing flaps had been wrecked in the accident. A dislodged antenna had wrapped itself around the EP-3E's tail, further complicating the landing. Chinese troops quickly surrounded the prized plane, wielding weapons and demanding over bullhorns that the Americans abandon the craft. After a tense 15-min. standoff--during which the U.S. crew continued to destroy much, but not all, of the classified material aboard the plane--they surrendered...
...United States tour brought a full house to the Wilbur Theatre; unfortunately, it brought a quarter of them 15 minutes late. In the middle of Laertes’ first scene with Ophelia, the herd of Americans came traipsing down the aisles like so many elephants, linked trunk to tail. After the requisite bit of coat rustling, umbrella shaking, coughs, sniffs and general settling into seats, the performance was allowed to continue...
...elicit any sympathy or emotional involvement whatsoever. The audience is more mystified by how Brandy could possibly be attracted to this dope than to whether or not he actually gets the girl. Furthermore, a romantic theme involving the moon is directly copied from the animated classic An American Tail, and fails to garner the expected emotional response. His escapades have nothing to do with each other, and while some of the physical comedy is amusing, much of the movie is in search of cheap laughs...
