Tomorrow begins National Women's History Month in America, a time to honor American women who have made a difference. This is about three astonishing women I encountered in the Holy Land. None of them will be listed in the American honors. The first was Ruth Cale, a Jewish woman who had emigrated to Palestine in the 1930s, escaping the impending Nazi occupation of her native Austria. Ms. Cale, who died in 1982, had been a reporter for The Palestine Post during the days of the British Mandate in Palestine.

Heartstrings are pulled mercilessly in Dreamer, in ways one should expect from a movie about a young girl, a lame horse and a father who doesn't have time for either. Dakota Fanning, proving again why she is the hot young actress of the moment, is young Cale Crane, a girl who starts off the film desperately wanting to spend more time with her dad, Ben (Kurt Russell). Unfortunately, he's too busy training horses for rich jerks like Everett Palmer, who don't care a whit about their horses as long as they win races.

"Titan A.E." is like watching a 90-minute game of the video game Asteroids - all bang and no buck. This latest from animator Don Bluth follows in his tradition of films that look great but have little story and less heart. "Titan A.E.," which aspires to be the full-length cartoon that George Lucas has yet to make, features all manner of interstellar mayhem: rip-snorting shoot-em-ups, barroom brawls, exploding planets, you name it. Too bad all this isn't in the service of some sort of narrative.

They couldn't do it: Buck Baker, Lee Petty, Joe Weatherly, David Pearson, Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt.Such famous Winston Cup drivers. All winners of back-to-back titles, Petty twice and Earnhardt three times. But over the sport's first 50 years only one, Cale Yarborough, has won three straight titles -- in 1976, 1977 and 1978.And judging by the way things are going this season for Jeff Gordon, the two-time defending champion, Yarborough isn't going to have company any time soon.
