...MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS In the dank days of the Ceausescu regime, a college girl seeks an illegal abortion, and finds just the wrong guy to perform it. Beautifully acted, and as creepy as any horror movie, Christian Mungiu's drama earned the top prize at this year's Cannes...
...monarchy has permitted the PJD to engage in political activity since 1997. It is an Islamist group that, like the Palestinian Hamas organization, has historical and ideological links to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood movement.

Boeing expects to deliver its revamped 747-8 in 2010, costing about $4 billion to develop and probably priced at about $292 million, vs. about $319 million for the competing A380...
...parsing instinct he was demonstrating. On the other side, one gleeful wing of the commentariat seized on Craig as just the latest family-values conservative unmasked as a hypocrite for opposing gay marriage in public while soliciting gay sex in private--even though if Craig truly believes homosexuality is wrong, his fault would be weakness, not hypocrisy. Craig felt compelled to call a press conference, with his wife standing by his side in sunglasses the size of hubcaps, to declare that he had done nothing wrong. "I am not gay. I never have been gay," he insisted, as though that...
