...This is the first scene of The Hurt Locker, which has its world premiere here at the Venice Film Festival before playing Sunday at the Toronto fest. No U.S. opening or distributor has been secured, but that should change once festival people strap themselves in for this dynamite drive through the Iraq occupation. (Make that war.) Except for a few digressive scenes - a solo sortie of personal vengeance, a conversation about what it all means - that could easily be cut from the 2 hr. 11 min. running time, The Hurt Locker is a near-perfect movie about...

This one is in Stroud, a rural town in Gloucestershire, about two hours' drive west of London.

Because the incidence of cancer increases with age, the nearly 80 million baby boomers now crossing into their 60s will probably drive the number even higher. At current rates, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will eventually have some form of cancer diagnosed. (Why the gender disparity? Men smoke more.) For the record, the cancer community includes me; five years ago, I was treated with chemotherapy and major surgery...
