"V" is voltage

One of the reasons Ennis wasn't interested in applying for a job with the power company was because of the dangers inherent to working with high voltage.

"E" is erased

Ang Lee on the cultural coming together of East and West:  "On the receiving side, I think the whole world is more ready, with the Internet, with film festivals and DVDs. It used to be a one-way street from West to East: we were receiving and the West was producing. I think we're getting closer and closer. The gap between cultures is getting erased every day."
