...Replace with: Wonder Boys This movie has everything: Laugh-out-loud humor, snappy repartee and moments of devastating tenderness. Michael Douglas turns in what would have been, if anyone had seen it, a career-altering tour de force as a lovably unkempt English professor struggling to finish his second book. Tobey Maguire and Frances MacDormand also shine...

They argue that drug firms legitimately need the profits to finance research on new wonder drugs. They say it's not wise to offer cheap AIDS drugs without a proper medical infrastructure--that deadly, drug-resistant strains would emerge. But at what point does the human benefit to desperate, destitute countries outweigh strict adherence to patents and profits...
