...still President, cold war tensions run high and superheroes are being murdered. Snyder's teaser showed arresting visuals of the giant blue Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) atomizing some Viet Cong, fellow crusaders Nite Owl II (Patrick Wilson) and Silk Spectre II (Malin Akerman) kissing in front of a mushroom cloud and the coarse Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) plunging to his death from a window, with a blood-spattered smiley face--the book's trademark--tumbling after him. With its dense story line, Watchmen asks a lot of its audience, and Snyder is wrestling with a three-hour...
...where Richard Nixon is still President, cold war tensions are high, and superheroes are being murdered. Snyder's teaser showed arresting visuals of the giant blue superhero Doctor Manhattan (Billy Crudup) atomizing some Vietcong, fellow crusaders Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson) and Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) kissing while a mushroom cloud erupts in the background and the coarse Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) plunging to his death from a window, with the blood-spattered smiley face - the book's trademark - tumbling after...

Should such advances occur, SDI proponents argue, a reasonably effective Star Wars defense would reduce to virtually zero the number of Soviet...

Until she was eleven and fell in love with ''le spectacle,'' or the show-biz side of ballet, this lyrical athlete was a whiz-kid gymnast in the blue-collar Paris suburb of Le Blanc-Mesnil. In 1980 Balanchine picked her out of a line of 15-year-olds...
...Riccò, who in the past has denied any doping irregularities, is the third competitor to be forced out of the race this year under a cloud of performance-enhancing suspicion. But it is the Italian's exit that definitively stains the entire competition, as happened last year with the early exit of then Tour leader Michael Rasmussen of Denmark, and in 2006 when American Floyd Landis was stripped of his crown following the race...
