...yearly thermometer for the temperature of the seventh art. Some come for the deals (producers want to sell their movies to every market from Thailand to Tierra del Fuego), some for the glamour (the parade of beautiful people can give even the most jaded visitor a kind of whiplash of the eyes), some for the parties (free food! free wine! possible sightings of Clint and Brangelina!). But the 2,000 critics are here on a monastic mission. Renouncing the beaches and the usually gorgeous weather of this Riviera resort, we sit in large and small screening rooms in Cannes' Grand...
...just write off patients like Charlene as quacks; there have been more than a few with this presentation who were dead a day later from bleeding around the brain, heart or abdominal organs. There are also some real cases of what's commonly called whiplash that look like this too. Fine after the accident and bed-bound a week later. But Charlene's exam seemed too much an act, her vocabulary was laced with too much plaintiffese and she showed far too much interest in the notes that the nurses, the secretaries and I were making about her.

...Whiplash was just the first agony that Kevin Miller, 45, suffered in a car accident last July. The second was sticker shock. The self-employed and uninsured chiropractor from Eunice, La., learned that it would cost $90,000 to get the herniated disk in his neck repaired.

...present a wide variety of experiences and to shift rapidly between humor and pain without seeming forced, a far more difficult task to accomplish within a more traditional narrative. When less continuity of character and plot is necessary, the subject matter can shift from dancing to death without inducing whiplash. In combining two plays written in a similar style but years apart, Gentry has created a hybrid that meshes surprisingly well. The male and female characters don’t interact directly, but their roles enhance each other, especially in segments that are parallel between the two?...
...fast becoming the age of the wiggle. Over the past few years, and especially after the debut of Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, the sturdy glass-and-steel rectangle, for decades the default mode for serious buildings, has begun to give way to the parabola, the whiplash curve and geometries so irregular, there's no point in looking them up in geometry books. Thanks to a combination of insistent forward thinking by architects and ever more ingenious computer-design software, buildings that once would have been no more than architecture-student fantasies are being green-lighted every...
