...almost never deadly. Like 100,000 other Americans each year, Desiree Wade was sent home a few hours after the surgery, which was performed at St. Luke's hospital in Manhattan. She developed a fever and became increasingly sick. Her coughs apparently tore open the surgical wounds in her throat, and she bled to death. There is no evidence that the surgeon did anything wrong, but state health officials are investigating whether the child received the proper follow-up care...
...their sartorial feelings toward the body-building lifestyle. In this piece, Leyner assumes the persona of a "buff buff" who advocates losing the spotter when one pumps iron because, "When there's nothing to keep a barbell stacked with 375 lbs. of iron plates from collapsing onto your throat but your own two arms...well, if that doesn't get the ol' fight-or-flight response going, then nothing will."

"The fundamentalists are vermin," declares a government official. "We must wipe them out, even if we have to kill...
Violence in this movie is of the throat-slitting genre, clean and unmessy as if a surgeon designed it. Suspense is used in a crude but effective way-killer lurking behind doorway, killer lurking in closet, killer lurking behind shower curtain. That's it-the violence and suspense are neither gory nor great...
