Even in the final fencing scene between Laertes and Hamlet, a fencing vest is worn featuring fake pecs and six-packs that would make Batman jealous. Later, Branagh's vest is removed to uncover a skin-tight tank top, revealing, of course, Branagh's chest hair. Not only does Branagh seem to wish desperately that he be immediately lauded as sex symbol of the decade, but he also employs some heavy-handed Christ imagery when he is carried out after Fortinbras' coronation. Branagh seems to be going for much more than an Oscar here...

...backpack. Removing the pack will deactivate the lever that operates the doll's teeth. Although it has not issued a recall, the commission says it will continue to investigate some three dozen complaints that the dolls have chewed on little girls? hair and fingers, mistaking children for the fake carrots and french fries they were designed to chomp. No serious injuries have been reported -- yet. Most surprising are mothers like Diane McMasters of Campbell, Ohio, who is allowing her four-year-old daughter Ariana to keep the doll that started chewing on her a few weeks ago, and stopped only...

Nevertheless, Simpson's side did not fare well at the civil trial in Santa Monica last week. Robert Groden testified for the defense that a photo of Simpson wearing Bruno Magli shoes--the kind of footwear apparently worn by the killer--was a fake. Groden sounded impressive enough until Peter Gelblum, an attorney for the Goldman family, attacked him as a Kennedy-assassination groupie who held no formal training, credential or qualifications as a photo expert. Lawyers for both sides argued over his resume, trying to fathom his actual occupation. (He has worked as camera repairman and phototechnician, among several...

...chain of ownership has also been the subject of considerable dispute. Some specialists trace it directly back to the painter's sister-in-law. Tasset and others claim the first owner was the art dealer Amedee Schuffenecker. That would raise serious questions: Schuffenecker was notorious for selling fake paintings, and his brother Claude-Emile, a friend of both Van Gogh's and Paul Gauguin's, was a skillful copyist of their works.
