Or maybe not quite. For all the enhanced ingenuity of the special effects in ““Lost World,’’ the element of surprise and originality (the idea of cloning dinosaurs from fossilized DNA) is no longer present. And screenwriter David Koepp (the movie i s very loosely based on Michael Crichton’s sequel to his novel ““Jurassic Park’’) has come up with a pretty conventional story line: get the characters back with the dinos and let them start running and screaming....

Most of the key players skipped the tours of West Indies and Bangladesh. In that sense, it would not be wrong to say that Australia have exceeded expectations....

Although we had grown up in two states that were politically and even militarily hostile toward each other—the People’s Republic of China (mainland China) and the Republic of China (Taiwan)—we culturally identified with each other and regarded ourselves as one people, or compatriots.

The fissuring of this shared identity was clearly demonstrated by the cheers and jeers of Chinese and Taiwanese fans during the Tokyo Olympics, which ended recently....

He shouldn’t have bothered. Wills starts Certain Trumpets: The Call of Leaders (336 pages....
Zelnick said that Take-Two, the parent company of Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar Games, never wants to count Nintendo out. “We’re believers. […] They do it over and over again. So we feel pretty enthusiastic really.” However, with Take-Two rarely supporting Nintendo consoles with its games, it’s hard to tell if Zelnick’s enthusiasm is genuine.

I have nothing against a self-made billionaire businessman who spends $70 million of his own money to get everyone to call him “Mike.” I mean, it takes that much money to buy an election nowadays when you start an election cycle with a name-recognition of, approximately, zero. And it doesn’t bother me that the future mayor of New York prefers the Red Sox to our hometown ballclubs....
