...restore the old order? What should we call Hungary, '56? Was it an uprising or merely a change of government; a rejection of communism, or an attempt to give it a human face? Erich Lessing, whose remarkable photographs taken for Life magazine laid bare the drama, daring and horror of those autumn days 50 years ago, has no doubt what he saw. "This was not just a little uprising, like in Poland or in East Germany in 1953," he said last week, "this was a real revolution. There was no consultation; it just jumped up here and there." Despairing...
...locker was not the problem. Neither was the guy ripping through chains embedded in his flesh to dismantle a ticking bomb in front of him. What worried the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) when the ratings body screened Saw III, the latest installment in the lucrative, torture-based horror franchise, was the disturbing "tonality," according to the film's director, Darren Lynn Bousman.

I have to believe that the deep-throated horror-narrator guy that they have for every such trailer is just...
...talking. Topics to avoid include her bloated ankles, where her wedding ring is, and the amniotic fluid all over your new Pumas. To avoid panicking, remind her (and yourself) that help is on the way. Keep her thoughts positive by asking about baby names; hide the look of horror on your face when she says “Cougar.” Keep the birthing area as clean as possible. Ideally, spread out an ROTC sweatshirt, but, should one be unavailable, pages ripped from your never-cracked Ec 10 textbook will suffice. Do not let the laboring mother...
