...characters are similarly one-dimensional, with no motivations or desires other than those necessary to keep the film moving: detectives want to solve the case, psychopaths want to kill, and greedy executives (both those within the film and the real executives responsible for its creation) want to make money. The exception is Kramer [an executive?], whose predictable philosophy of appreciation of life receives almost all of the screen time not devoted to torture. Conveniently, his character provides an excuse for the flatness of those of his proteges, whose actions are motivated only by the fascism of Kramer?...
...when a team of archaeologists from Harvard and the Museum of Fine Arts cracked open a tomb in Deir-el-Bersha, Egypt, they found intricate coffins embedded within each other, 55 wooden boats—each distinctly crafted and painted—and beer. Lots of beer. Scattered in disarray throughout the grave were tiny beer jars representative of their larger, real counterparts, miniature models of breweries, and wooden slave figures with the drink balanced on their heads.

Mimicking the discovery, the exhibition moves from within the tomb to inside the coffin. The panels of the coffin are intricately painted with images for the afterlife.

The painting is sophisticated—the governors’ legs are colored in two different shades of red to create foreground and background—and the detail is impressive...
...would be done with walking.” Snow also uses “as if,” instead of “as though,” whose “f” reappears in “fly,” which emphasizes the action within the hypothetical, as opposed to the hypothetical itself.

...some 40,000 athletes will gather on Staten Island in New York Harbor for one of the world's largest sporting competitions: the New York City Marathon. This year marks the 40th running of the race, which attracted just 127 competitors for its inaugural event in 1970, held completely within Central Park (only 55 crossed the finish line). Today, the New York marathon traces a path across four bridges and through all five of the city's boroughs; last year, Brazilian runner Marilson Gomes dos Santos won the men's event in 2 hr. 8 min. 43 sec. and Paula...
