...unreasonable as the U.S. does. In fact, many South Koreans view America as the aggressor?Bush's inclusion of North Korea in his "axis of evil" was tantamount to telling Kim Jong Il his days as dictator, like Saddam Hussein's, are numbered. That echoes North Korea's oft-repeated line that America, despite assurances to the contrary from U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, plans to invade and so the North must develop nuclear weapons as a matter of self-defense...
...department of geology and geophysics, he spends most of his time studying rock fossils to discern the habitats of ancient mammals. Fox was active in campaigns against U.S. policies in Latin America, but he supported the Gulf War and U.S. intervention in the Balkans. Fox subscribes to several oft-recited criticisms of a military campaign against Saddam.

So he chose to make his return to the stage (in a production first seen at the Westport Country Playhouse, where his wife Joanne Woodward is artistic director) in Our Town, Thornton Wilder's oft produced slice of Americana, which is given some 350 stagings around the country each year. As the Stage Manager--the fourth-wall-bursting narrator who introduces us to the town of Grover's Corners and its bashful young lovers, George Gibbs and Emily Webb--Newman is at the front...
...overseas, particularly in the U.K. and Germany. And Nemesis is better - darker, more surprising - than the average Trek. Of course, it won't make as much as, say, Spider-Man. Yet Star Trek has outlasted other brands over the years. (Suck a phaser, Batman.) How does Trek survive? The oft-cited answer is that freakish Trekkies - fans who saved the original series with passionate letters and today maintain an eBay market of 25,000 Trek items - still sustain the franchise. Wrong. Trek hasn't been a cult enterprise in years. It is, instead, a humming mainstream business that responds quickly...
