...Instead, Beamer added "Let's roll" to the patriotic lexicon when he and his fellow passengers attacked the hijackers, who intended to crash the jet in Washington. As they struggled, the plane went down in a Pennsylvania field, killing all on board. Flight 93 became the Warsaw Uprising of 9/11, a national blueprint for resistance and a tonic against helplessness...
...jury that was expected to reward eccentricity and innovation (because it was headed by iconoclastic American auteur David Lynch) gave the Palme d'Or to Roman Polanski's The Pianist, a conventional, if sharply drawn, epic about a Jew surviving the Warsaw Ghetto. Second place, the Grand Prix, went to Aki Kaurismaki's The Man Without a Past?one of the deadpan-comic Finn's finest films, but more sweet than startling. And Im's thanks-for-coming prize was the only laurel Asia received. The one competing Chinese film, Jia Zhangke's Unknown Pleasures, got nothing. As for Hong...

But after all the politico-ethnic tsimmes and tsouris, the Jury (headed by U.S. director David Lynch) gave its top award, the Palme d'Or, to Roman Polanski's Holocaust saga The Pianist, an epic adaptation of the 1946 memoir by Jewish musician and Warsaw Ghetto survivor Wladyslaw Szpilman.

Designed to destroy Warsaw Pact tanks on the German plain, it might have some utility if the U.S. Army ever has to battle Iraqi tanks, in the unlikely event that air power can't finish the job. The Crusader has detractors, like candidate Bush, but it also has powerful backers. United Defense, the company building...
...Munro and Englebert Humperdink's The Way It Used to Be. That weekend, he took his bad eyes and bad elbows to the Tokyo-9 Ball Tournament and won the most lucrative event in the sport, pocketing about $160,000. The following weekend, he won again, this time in Warsaw, Poland. Still, he continues to say that his time at the top might be coming to an end, that he should prepare the country for the day he can no longer be the player they want, and maybe need him to be. During the late '80s and early '90s, when...
