Preteen girls recently had their Woodstock. It lasted 74 min. and probably involved an overconsumption of Junior Mints. Shut out of the sold-out live event, 2007's Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, thousands of girls lined up in February and March to put on 3-D glasses for the movie version. And as they watched, Cyrus' concert-movie audience did something remarkable: they behaved as if it were a real show. Singing along, dancing, reaching for confetti that was falling only onscreen, the Hannah Montana fans were, yes, 8-year-olds on a sugar high...
...There's a fantastic collective high we're seeing in the theaters," says Catherine Owens, a co-director of U23D, which was filmed during Irish band U2's 2006 Vertigo tour. "It reflects the joy and exuberance you see from the audiences who are hearing the show live [in the movie]." U23D makes the most of its dimensionality, plunging you into the middle of teeming stadium crowds, without the elbow in your ribs or the drunk "Woo hoo!" girl in your ear.

Instructor Ron Haskins, a former Green Beret, warns, "We want to get the terrorists when they're recruiting, planning, training, preparing, because once they start, they're going to blow themselves up in some way."

The kitchen is littered with chemicals, including a jar of yellow liquid simulating human urine, which can be distilled into an ingredient for an explosive called urea nitrate (used in the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993). Haskins explains the assault to a visiting...
...Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger dropped by New York City. He was heading home to the Vatican from a conference in Dallas and had saved a day to tour what was then still regularly called the Big Apple. According to Father James O'Connor, who was acting as his chauffeur, Ratzinger sat in the front seat, the better to take in the hustle and buzz of the city. They visited the (Episcopal) Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the medievally furnished Cloisters museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. On the way to Kennedy Airport, the car stalled halfway through the Midtown...
