...lose some security. If your credit cards fall into the wrong hands, you're liable only for the first $50 of expenditures, and many issuers waive that. While the ultimate liability with a debit card is the same, a thief could clean out your checking account before you realize what's happening. (Some 42% of debit cards can be used without a personal identification number, or PIN.) Yes, your bank will give you back the money--Visa requires its issuers to grant you credit within five days, and many do so within 24 hours--but it's a much bigger...
...when coaching the Bucks in 1971. DIED. ASHOK KUMAR, 90, Indian screen legend who dazzled audiences in more than 250 films and won Indian cinema's highest honor, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, in 1989; in Bombay. Kumar starred in mega-hits such as Achhut Kanya and Jewel Thief (see eulogy). DIED.

Writer-director David Mamet has so many obligations to his plot that he has neither time nor energy to develop these or any other characters (played by the likes of Delroy Lindo and Ricky Jay) beyond the bounds of genre cliche. Or to dole out more than a few lines of his usually smart dialogue. The result is a well-tooled machine chugging coldly along a twisting...
...Immediately, Miyazaki, who is married and has two sons, began to turn out hits. They ranged from a grown-up caper about a mischievous thief (Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro) to a sweet, children's story about an entrepreneurial young witch (Kiki's Delivery Service). "I don't think about messages or themes when I'm making my movies," he claims. "My goal is only to entertain." His genius is to cloak potent themes in stories that enchant. It's hard not to read an antiwar message in Porco Rosso, about a fighter pilot transformed into...
