...actors and stunt coordinators, billed as the Yuen Clan. In The Miracle Fighters, a delirious carnival of a film that plays like a ber-Cirque du Soleil, Yat-choh is the young hero, Cheung-yan a cranky lady wizard, Sunny the nasty Sorcerer Bat and Brandy a clown-face warrior condemned to live in a jar. In Mismatched Couples (1985), Wo-ping plays what has to be called the Jerry Lewis role. No abasement is too extreme: he barks on all fours, swallows nails, gets his head stuck in a fish bowl and squashed in cake. His fingers...

And sending positive messages to the Palestinians, as well as the neighboring Arab regimes and Washington, would even help him consolidate...
Some of Doyle's ideas have the imprint of sanity. Being the commanding, demanding warrior goddess may work in the office, she argues, but you should leave her there and treat your husband like a friend and grownup. "Honor his choice of socks and stocks, food and friendships, art and attitudes...have regard for his ideas, suggestions, family and work," she writes. There is a lot to be said for apologizing, for walking away rather than escalating an argument.
