LET YOUR USED CLOTHES GET A SECOND LIFE, reads a sign on these checkered boxes, all of which are emblazoned with an American flag as well as a triangular recycling logo. But only some of the bins reveal a key detail: USAgain (pronounced "use again") is not a charity but "a clothing recycling business" that sells the bulk of these donated items to Third World countries...
...dinner starts with Scallion Pancakes ($4.50)—glutinous rice flour stuffed with scallions and herbs, pan-fried until brown and served with ginger sauce.

It’s the most common kind of thumb fracture and it often occurs in basketball, skiing and fist fights...
There's a triangular conflict--an evil man, the rival he has treated like a son and the woman (Cameron Diaz) they both have loved and used--with three stars at the top of their form. DiCaprio's winsomeness has matured into a wily assurance that doesn't rely on bravado. Diaz, stifling the giggles, displays a grave, bruised beauty. Day-Lewis struts with the insane intensity and twisted grin of early Robert De Niro; the Butcher loves the monster he has become...
