...Tracy's hairdo, now growing like a monster fungus in an AIP horror movie, has landed her and Penny in Special Ed., the high school gulag for misfits of all races, bad attitudes and personal liabilities. (Tracy: "Whaddaya do in Special Ed.?" Nerds: "We do musicals!") The class also imprisons some of the black kids, including Seaweed J. Stubbs (Corey Reynolds), for whom Penny develops an immediate and unquenchable letch. From nine to three, Tracy tries to wriggle from the confines of Special Ed.; then she's off to Corky's, to dance her plus-size girdle...

Following the success of his last Hollywood victory Rush Hour 2, Ratner now helms a decidedly different sort of action as he takes the reins from Ridley Scott (Hannibal). With Edward Norton as the retired FBI agent who returns to the Bureau to catch a family-slaughtering psychopath...
...context makes this statistic even more astonishing. India is again in the throes of periodic insanity, with Hindu-Muslim conflict in the state of Gujarat reaching another crest of brutality. Gujarat has swayed on the edge of horror for months?from Godhra, early this year, where Hindu pilgrims were torched in a train by Muslims, to the gruesome aftermath in which innocent Muslims were butchered with what many saw as the government's tacit encouragement, to the temple in Gandhinagar where last week two terrorists massacred Hindu devotees, including women and children...
