There was another scene we ended up cutting. It was a fantasy scene that we staged at Madison Square Garden with the then Knicks, like Bill Bradley and Earl Monroe. We had the Knicks playing against five great philosophers. One was Kierkegaard, I remember. One was Nietzsche. Kierkegaard was a hunchback, so the actor who played him was either a hunchback or we made him one. And the thing that we were showing was the awkwardness of those great thinkers in real life and how graceless the cerebral act is compared to the beauty of physical acts....

Those were the dark days. Tinseltown and Silicon Valley still don’t intersect as neatly as Hollywood and Vine, but a growing cadre of “cyberagents” is at long last gaining the trust of wary techies and positioning itself for interactive entertainment’s potentially tremendous payoff. Once-skeptical id has now signed up L.A. powerhouse ICM to cut a book deal, and Trilobyte has retained specialists at the venerable William Morris Agency to help put together an interactive movie....

MARGOLIS: What is it like inside Latin America’s biggest prison? BABENCO: It’s unbearable, like something out of Dante or the Middle Ages. Imagine this place with almost 8,000 men, with 15, 16, 17 in a cell made for four. It’s insane. The inmates are like beggars. Some walk, extremely agitated, from left to right, right to left, and you wonder, where are they going? The only real activity is this frenzy to buy and sell, everything from drugs to toothpaste....

How It Works Buscopan differs from other antispasmodic medication in that it does not cross the blood/brain barrier and only minimal traces of the medicine finds their way into the bloodstream. Rather, Buscopan acts locally on the muscles in the abdomen to prevent spasms from occurring. The benefit of this difference is that it avoids nervous system side effects such as drowsiness or dizziness. Effectiveness A meta-analysis undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of IBS treatment options noted three clinical studies which indicated that Buscopan was more effective than placebo in relieving IBS symptoms....

FC Brunton (Mohit Ahuja 44’) C2 FC (Abhijeet Rautela 50’) Brunton put in a strong performance against C2 FC to pick up a draw although Brunton would feel they deserved the three points. C2 FC weren’t up to mark and Brunton’s high pressing tactics disrupted their usually efficient possession-based play. The first half saw chances for both sides but with neither able to convert those chances they were presented with and the game went into a halftime a goalless draw....

Al-Fateh hadn’t lost a game before this one and looked on their way on to another emphatic win when they took a two-goal lead early in the game but inspired performances from Lalit Braganza and Praveen Murali saw them turn the tie upside down. Zaib Sherief and Nihal Colaco got on the score sheet but were largely ineffective in the second half owing to an effective Sparta defence whose positioning sense has been outstanding all season....

Tampines, however, will not go down quietly. After a disappointing first leg performance in India, the S-League side will be looking to bounce back strongly, although they will have to do so without skipper Fahrudin Mustafic who hobbled off in the first leg. Akbar Nawas, coach of Tampines, feels that his side is ready for the daunting task ahead of them. “It will be an uphill task for us if Bengaluru scores an away goal,” he said ....

The official, who spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity during a Pentagon briefing on Monday, said that the option of supplying Ukraine with tanks remained “absolutely on the table.” Ukraine’s military has been relying on Soviet-era tanks throughout the war but is seeking more modern replacements. “Tanks are absolutely on the table along with other areas,” the DoD official said. “We’re looking at the entirety of the Ukrainian armed forces and considering for the future … what capabilities they will need and how the U....

Tanzanian hopes of a first World Cup appearance suffered a severe blow this weekend when they lost 2-1 in Morocco. The Taifa Stars had Aggrey Morris red carded at Stade de Marrakech before Abderrazak Hamdallah and Youssef El Arabi scored either side of half-time. Amri Kiemba pulled one goal back and Mbwana Samata came close to equalising for the visitors, who upset Morocco 3-1 in Dar es Salaam three months ago....

Price & Availability Check out the best budget wireless earbuds to see what else is out there. Design & Build Quality Where the Apple AirPods and those they inspire have gone for circular stems and slim, outer-ear buds, TaoTronic has a slightly different take on things. The buds themselves are in-ear and attach to a thicker speaker chamber that’s more common with this type of design. The clever part is that the outer edges are flat rather than curved, so the earpiece doesn’t seem bulky when worn and the stems looks subtle and modern....

The 19 Americans who died in the explosion in Dhahran, and the hundreds more who suffered injuries, were pulling tough duty to protect Saudi Arabia. The royal House of Saud needs an American shield. Its vast oil wealth has not bought security from the vengeance of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein or the machinations of Iran’s ayatollahs and their friends. And although they preside over one of the world’s most rigidly fundamentalist states, the high-living royals are denounced as hypocrites by ultramilitant Muslims....
