...from being a perfect version of that story. It is, in fact a major disappointment, despite the fact that it seems, superficially, to be an ideal subject for Brian De Palma, given his passionate, long-standing obsession with the sex and violence nexus. Mostly, the movie is a tin of red herrings. That's particularly true of the triangular relationship between the cops and Kay. She, too, has been sexually abused and the movie seems to want to say that violent crimes against women were-are-more common than we like to pretend, which is doubtless true, but essentially irrelevant...
...Some parts of his return voyage to his father's hometown were not that different from his maiden one. In a modest, tin-roofed house in a nearby clearing dotted with mango trees, Obama, 45, and his wife and daughters, Malia and Sasha, visited Sarah - "Granny" - and other relatives and shared a quick meal of chicken, porridge and cabbage. Obama told reporters gathered outside the house that he had apologized to his grandmother for all the attention she had received "because of me."

...fighters away from the border with Israel. But that may never happen. To a TIME correspondent following the 11th Brigade as it moved up into the hardscrabble hills above Tyre, it was clear that the army's job will be largely symbolic and humanitarian.

...Lieberman v. Lamont—but in the U.S. ideological battles take place on an individual level, in a thousand different primary contests. There is never a battle over the “heart” of either party, because, quite simply, neither has a heart. Like the Tin Man, each party wanders about, clucking about the need for initiative and ideas, but never managing to find either. Far be it for me to criticize the sterling leadership of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and company; there are underlying structural causes of the Democrats’ serial ineptitude...
...with a group of volunteers helping to support young people with cancer. "They really impressed me," he says of the charity CanTeen, "so I thought I'd do some work for them." In the 3,300 km he's walked so far, Shaw has raised $650 in his collection tin for CanTeen, which was formed in 1985 to raise awareness for teenagers living with cancer. Even Shaw's jaunty bandanna has meaning; it was adopted as the group's symbol...
