...good at playing perfect little girls in adult situations, from I Am Sam to The War of the Worlds, she has sometimes been branded as robotic or under some sort of unnatural control. The truth is, she's like a mini--Meryl Streep, so deft and true that people take the perfection for granted and stop noticing the work. It's obvious here that she's the one in control. A movie like The Runaways, showcasing both her gifts and the pitfalls of young fame, makes you hope she stays that...
Other researchers say that evidence is muddy. The reduction in cardiovascular events sounds impressive until you take a closer look. Men taking Crestor had a lower risk of hard events, including fatal and nonfatal heart attack and stroke. But the only statistically significant benefits for women treated with Crestor involved less extreme end points, like hospitalization for unstable chest pain and arterial revascularization (a category of procedures that includes major surgery). To prevent one event, 36 women would need to take the statin for five years - a modest result, critics...

In recent months there have been several incidents between armed, angry citizens and government agents that have prompted officials to take these groups more seriously...
...insulates the patriot evangelists from any direct blame for the antigovernment acts they may inspire. The handful of celebrities on the patriot circuit-people like Koernke, attorney Linda Thompson and Militia of Montana founder John Trochmann-all have tapes in circulation that promote their theories about the plot to take over the world. In a two-hour video called America in Peril: A Call to Arms, Koernke, an Ann Arbor janitor who goes by the handle "Mark from Michigan," ominously reviews the "evidence" of one-world conspiracy. At fema, he asserts, fewer than 64 employees are engaged in disaster work...
