...What They're Claiming in Argentina: It's the fight that Argentina just won't give up. Though it relinquished the Falklands when it surrendered to the British to end a 1982 war, Argentina has consistently asserted sovereignty over the South Atlantic archipelago. In December, the Argentine Congress passed a law that recognized the disputed territory as part of its Tierra del Fuego province. On Jan. 18 the British government rejected the gambit, saying there is "no doubt" that Britain remains the islands' rightful owner.

Other remains were loaded by bulldozer into dump trucks and hauled away to mass burials in the cursed swamplands outside the city. Everywhere were funeral pyres, fueled...
Even The Blind Side doesn't have as much on the line as Extraordinary Measures: life or death for the two ailing, adorable kids in the movie and for the thousands like them who will die before they're 10 if a treatment isn't found quick. Does the phrase emotional blackmail come to mind? In theory, an inspirational story about a child facing death by disease is no more or less manipulative than a thriller plot about a man who turns to revenge because his wife and kids were murdered. What matters is the tone: Does it pander...
