...child, starter home in Metroland, the generic name for London's middle-class suburbia. Chris (Christian Bale) also has something he doesn't need: his best friend from the swinging '60s, a wandering poet named Toni (Lee Ross), who lurches back into his life in the late '70s to taunt and tempt him.

And with Williams, a young star of CDs, movies and TV, cooing it, the number is also a warning to those who ignore the shining legacy and dogged vitality of the American musical theater: baby...
...never an option because it would have required Kaczynski's lawyers to argue that he either did not know what he was doing or did not know it was wrong. And unfortunately for them, the coolly calculating diary entries and the Unabomber's ability to evade detection and taunt authorities for so many years effectively ruled that...
