...state-certified winner of an election. Vern Buchanan, a wealthy Republican car dealer, was declared the victor of the House election in Florida's 13th District by 369 votes in November. But 18,000 voters from a heavily Democratic county somehow didn't register a choice in that particular race, and Buchanan's opponent, Christine Jennings, claims their votes were swallowed up by paperless electronic-voting machines.

Perhaps not coincidentally, artist Chuck Jones was a particular favorite of the young George Miliotis, growing up the son of Greek immigrants in the town of Chinchilla, Queensland. But when it came time for Miller to concoct his first purely animated feature half a century later, the greatest inspiration came not from Warner Bros. but from wildlife documentaries. Tickled by the fact that Antarctica's emperor penguins...
