...Lamar Burgess (Max von Sydow), who might be a more benign John Ashcroft, and his protege John Anderton (Tom Cruise) run a system that prevents murders by arresting people before they commit them. Yet the Precrime apparatus is so goofily anach-ronistic--three young mind readers floating in a tank and billiard balls rolling through plastic tubes--that your brilliant, mad old uncle could have concocted it in his basement. This two-edged look fits with Spielberg's idea of marrying science fiction with film noir; this is a 50-years-ago detective story set 50 years from...

That could leave Vajpayee with the unpalatable option of allowing a limited engagement in Kashmir to expand into a costly ground war along the wider border, something fraught with the potential of nuclear escalation...
...euro last week broke through the psychologically important barrier of 94?, its highest level since March 2001. But that's still way off the $1.17 the currency fetched when it was launched in January, 1999. Hans-Werner Sinn, chief of the German IFO economic think tank, said last week that he foresaw the euro reaching parity with the dollar by year's end.
