OXON HILL, Md., — Spelling savants traced letters onto their palms or gazed at the ceiling on Wednesday while racking their brains in hopes of advancing to the next level of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.Most of the starting field of 562 challengers aged 7 to 15 easily aced common words such as "ambition" and "fatality" on the second of three days of competition to stay in the running for the $50,000 cash jackpot. But some tripped over "telenovela," "junket" and "gracility.""This year I think I have a good chance of winning ... but ultimately there's always luck involved," said Navneeth Murali, 13, of Edison, New Jersey. "I studied much harder this year because I learned that I had potential last year."Murali...

Cannes winner 'Parasite' captures rich-poor gap in 'basic unit of life'
SEOUL — The South Korean director of "Parasite", the darkly comic movie that won the top Palme d'Or prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival, described his film on Tuesday as "a candid portrayal of the rich and the poor.""Parasite" is a wickedly humorous suspense movie about class struggles set in modern South Korea, following a down-on-its-luck family of four who worm their way into jobs in a wealthy household."I think we're touching on courtesy toward human beings, human dignity.
