They've

waves
in
Cancun,
but
for
the
six
children
of
Brad
Pitt

Angelina
Jolie,
life
in
the
boisterous
family
is
as
much
about
everyday
bonding
as
it
is
the
big
adventure.
"The
children
are
always
playing,
jumping
on
each
other
and
sharing
fun
moments,"
a
source
tells
PEOPLE
in
this
week's
cover
story.
"They
share
a
special
bond."
Leading
the
pack:
oldest
son
Maddox,
10,
who
"is
almost
like
a
teenager
now,
the
way
he
understands
things,"
says
another

"He's
grown
up
very
quickly."
“Psycho-sexual satisfaction can be derived from the thrill of the kill, the thrill of getting over or perhaps wanting to torture. Sex crime is a power crime,” said criminal profiling specialist Dr. Julie Salzano, who was part of a fascinating panel discussion called THE EVIL MEN DO: Inside The Mind Of The Sexual Predator, at the Mid-Manhattan Library (NYPL), co-sponsored by the New York Public Library and the New York Chapter of the Mystery Writers of America on August 17, 2011.

Inspired by the Japanese legend of the Crane Wife, Jen Silverman’s odyssey unfolds in the space between two worlds as Cassis, a Japanese American girl played by Angela Lin, embarks on a quest to save her brother’s soul from the Land of the Dead. Crane Story interweaves Japanese Bunraku-inspired puppetry, music, and folklore to weave a universal story of love, loss and life. The title of the play is derived from the ancient Japanese Myth of The Crane, a mystical creature that can live a thousand years and, to anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes, can grant a wish.
