...Lucien, who has the biggest eyes and oral fixation of any young actor in a surrealist movie in recent memory), is one of the children kidnapped, and his adopted older brother, One (Ron Perlman, showing that the giant chin he sported in The Name of the Rose was no mere makeup), a fun fair strongman, attempts to find him. He is helped by Miette (Judith Vittet), the leader of a ragtag group of orphans. Together with the help and hindrance of a legion of freaks, Miette and One attempt to rescue the little brother, defeat evil, and save the world...
...Cocteaus' first albums. Yet in tone, the EP is light-years away from those days of bristling desperation. "Feet Like Fins" is the most egregious track in this regard. It sounds a thousand other New Age tracks -- the silvery synthesizer line sticks to three notes, Fraser keeps to a mere two, and the song contains of the same four measures repeated over and over. "Violaine." the one track on the EP with personality, has its sublime moments. In the chorus, Fraser's voice finally breaks through its recently adopted sweet and inoffensive veneer...
...another, intriguing possibility, however. As Marcy points out, the planets are almost certainly orbited by one or more moons. "If they are comparable in size to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn," he says, "they could easily have rain and oceans." Such speculations fire the imagination. But the mere fact that these giant planets exist is enough for the scientists. As astronomers have learned, the discovery of one or two new heavenly objects is usually just the beginning. Marcy's team is already analyzing data from some 60 other stars. "We have hints," he says, "that there may be planets...

At issue, rather, are the costs of the process itself--the effort and delay inherent in acquiring care and the extent to which considerations other than mere health are brought to bear by corporate managers who must approve even such minor procedures as blood tests and mammograms. Yet the most fundamental question raised by the new medicine is one largely missing from public debate: Can you still trust your doctor...
...FlorCruz reports that the Chinese may simply be retaliating for the Clinton Administration's decision to grant a transit visa to Taiwanese Vice President Li Yuan-zu: "Such moves pique China, because in Beijing's view it is tantamount to giving official recognition to Taiwan, which Beijing considers a mere renegade province. Indeed, China protested Washington's move, but analysts here note that Beijing's reaction was in fact quite mild compared to its vehement outrage over the visit of Taiwan president Lee Teng-hui to his American alma mater last June. Beijing's reprisal then included the expulsion last...
