There is no chance of Israel's halting its collaborator operation. It is stepping up activities on all fronts. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon threatened that the next time a Palestinian gunman fires a shot from the town of Beit Jala across the valley to Gilo, a suburb of Jerusalem built on occupied land, Israel will invade the Palestinian town. Last week Israel moved tanks to the edge of Beit Jala as part of what Israeli military officials call a "rolling operation." As in the Jenin incursion, the aim is to mount different types of actions with constantly varying amounts...
Cage used to be just an actor--a fabulously unpredictable one, equal parts promise and menace. For his first decade in movies, he danced on the weird side: as a blond goofball in Valley Girl, the blind Vietnam vet of Birdy, Moonstruck's one-handed Romeo, the drifter haphazardly hired as a killer in Red Rock West. With a personality that mixed yelping hound dog with doleful hangdog, Cage raised moping to an art. He suggested a man wrestling with himself to hide the psycho loner or lover within. He was sweet on the surface and wild at heart...
Businesses are quicker than ever to cut off fired employees' access to computer systems and more willing than ever to go to court.

...Look at the teen flicks of the '80s. In their vision of high school, "crowd" is everything. In 1983's "Valley Girl," Nicolas Cage plays a semi-mohawked Hollywood surf-punk with a crush on the suburban aristocrat of the title. When he sings along to a new wave tune on the radio, her cheerleaderish friend reacts as is he's reciting from "Mein Kampf." When he and his buddy decide to sneak into a party at her house where jocks in polo shirts cavort to bubbly synth pop, it's not social awkwardness they're worried about; should things...
...years as well. In "Bring it On," Kirsten Dunst's suburban SoCal cheerleader, Torrance, thinks nothing of flirting with a punk who just moved to town from L.A. When he becomes her boyfriend, his punkness and her cheerleaderness are hardly a source of drama at all, while in "Valley Girl," the punk and the popular girl might as well have been Hatfield and McCoy. In "Sugar and Spice," a tight-knit band of cheerleaders consists of a perky prom queen type, a trash-talking convict's daughter, a goodie-two-shoes fundamentalist Christian, and a nerd who gets into Harvard...
