...quietly divine performance, William Hurt plays Brett, a man with no one to greet him when he gets out of prison. He walks to a café, orders a beer, sits down to write a letter and observes the town tartlet (she's very young) get rejected by a boy who has obviously used her. Martine (Kristen Stewart) spins on her heel, lights on Gordy (Eddie Redmayne), the first male she spots in her age range, and offers to go off with him instead. Maybe there's a party, or a festival across the river...
...maritime travel. Rather, it may have been the victim of rogue waves. For centuries mariners have told stories about sudden waves that would emerge out of the open ocean without warning, strong enough to topple even large ships. The S.S. Waratah, which vanished on a journey to Cape Town; the M.S. München, lost en route to Savannah, Ga.; even the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, "the good ship and true" of the Gordon Lightfoot song, which disappeared on Lake Superior - all were rumored to have been sunk by rogue waves...
...White House has proved to be a harder perch from which to dominate the conversation. Last summer, a single phrase - "death panels" - nearly derailed health care reform, as town halls were flooded with angry voters who got their information online.

...Wednesday, travel to and communications with Concepción, the big city closest to the 8.8-magnitude quake's epicenter, was still difficult. Lewis arrived there early Monday evening with the Chilean military to find a city that appeared to be completely abandoned. "It was like a ghost town," he tells TIME, "or a bad apocalyptic Hollywood movie. There was smoke from fires that were still raging. Street lamps and traffic lights are still not functioning. I would estimate that 40% of windows were broken, and perhaps 10% of buildings suffered seemingly catastrophic damage and were no longer inhabitable. People...
Unusually, Thai architect Lek Bunnag says the best time to visit Krabi, the sleepy southern Thai beach town famous for its limestone karsts and craggy coastline, is in monsoon season. "The clouds are changing every second and form a very dramatic stage set. If I were to say anything, it's the greatest plus to the resort." The said resort is Ritz-Carlton's Phulay Bay - the first of a new type of supersecluded, ultra-luxurious bolt-holes that the chain calls "reserves." It is one that Bunnag designed, and he was clearly preoccupied with rather more than the color...
