That was then. On March 9, a movie about the Battle of Thermopylae, called 300, will hit theaters. It was made by a young director, stars nobody in particular, and it looks like nothing you've ever seen. Very little in 300 is real except the actors. Sets, locations, armies, blood--they're all computer generated. It's beautiful, and it might well be the future of filmmaking. But should...
...These guys have to be so flexible with their menus, it's unreal," said Caf 150's fishmonger, Tim Zamborelli of Today's Catch in San Jose, Calif. "We have to find out what's coming in on that particular day and let them know so they can change."

The next year, it allowed Nhat Hanh to return to Vietnam for the first time in 40 years. Late last year, Washington removed Vietnam from the religious-freedom blacklist...
...nowhere to be found, and he says he wanted it that way. “I’ve tried hard to get back into the background and just be the guy that writes books,” Eggers said in an interview. “This book in particular, I was really trying not to have one word, or one tiny inkling of my own style or my own personality, and so I gave it up completely to Valentino.” Any lingering worries that Eggers may have replaced Deng’s voice with...
