...Today's target demographic was barely sentient when the show was in its mid-'90s prime. The kids want thrills, and I Want to Believe offers some good ones, though of an old-fashioned variety. The chases aren't Batmobile-vs.-Joker-truck, they either involve a snowplow or are on foot. And the shock scenes are closer to the murky threat of Val Lewton's '40s horror movies than to the slice-and-dice explicitness of the Saw and Hostel slasher series. Early on, a young woman takes a dip in a public pool, then gets out. Submerged...
...German soldiers to be deployed in Afghanistan - a military mission he hopes to expand. "Obama will be walking a tightrope," says Etges. "On the one hand, he wants a cheering crowd, but on the other hand can't afford to not voice any criticism at all." While the actual target of Obama's speech will be American voters watching him on television, it will still be up to the tens of thousands of Berliners expected to gather around the Siegess?ule to grant Obama his "Kennedy" moment...
...wreath of white flowers on a stone under which ashes of those who died in the camps are buried. And he chose as the site for his only news conference of the day the police station at Sderot, a town near the edge of Gaza that has been the target of Palestinian bombardment for the past seven years.

In the Indiana senate, Manion co-sponsored legislation to permit public schools to post the Ten Commandments just two months after the Supreme Court had struck down a Kentucky law that required such posting. He sometimes appeared on a radio and TV show with his father Clarence, a former dean of the Notre Dame Law School...
...could entail an intercontinental blitzkrieg: thousands of missiles launched from enemy territory, letting loose tens of thousands of deadly warheads surrounded by a nebula of hurtling decoys and debris. In half an hour, this lethal ''threat cloud'' would be over the U.S., raining destruction on cities and military targets alike. Trying to stop this deluge would require enormous technological breakthroughs in at least four areas: sensors, lasers, particle beams and computer programming. Should such advances occur, SDI proponents argue, a reasonably effective Star Wars defense would reduce to virtually zero the number of Soviet intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) getting through...
