...Math Wars" [Nov. 27]: I have a novel idea for how to end the controversy over mathematics education. Ever hear of 2+2 = 4, 6x3 = 18?

JP watches in horror as a priest has several of his friends spread-eagled on squat stone, then hacks out their still-beating hearts and displays them to a howling crowd. JP narrowly avoids the same fate, escapes, and spends most of the rest of the film picking off an armed pursuit party, one by one, in classic action-film fashion...
