...tournament showcasing the nation’s top 64 collegiate seniors that takes place from April 4-7. The center is hoping that his standout senior season, as well as his performance in the Portsmouth, will lead to an opportunity with a professional team, whether in the U.S. or abroad. “I’m aiming as high as I can, and I’ll settle for wherever I can go,” said Cusworth, whose final two games were attended by several NBA scouts. “I plan to play as long...
...movie (which I resisted, but I'm speaking as a handicapper here) has other attractive aspects. For one thing, it's a hit: made for just $8 million, the film has earned nearly $60 million at the domestic box office and another $31.6 million abroad. For another, Sunshine boasts a strong mix of American actors (not the motley of U.S., Mexican, Moroccan and Japanese thesps in Babel). Two of the Sunshiners - Alan Arkin, 72, and Abigail Breslin, 10 - were nominated for Supporting Oscars. And now all the actors win the SAG award. Suddenly, they and their film are the little...
Attempts to squelch publication of Spycatcher abroad, however, have not fared so well. In September 1985, the London government filed suit in an Australian court to prevent release of the memoir.

Then in 1915 the Turks massacred more than a million Armenians, leaving their historic lands desolate and sending the survivors fleeing abroad. The splendidly illustrated The Armenians (Rizzoli; 288 pages; $75) aims to restore to view some of the beauty of this brutally wounded culture. Various Armenian and Italian scholars have contributed chapters on the arts, history, religion and literature...
...publicly challenge Hugo Chavez have dwindled to a precious few. Ministers and lawmakers have showered praise on the president's recently announced plans to nationalize entire sectors of the economy, pass laws by decree without legislative approval and take away the autonomy of the Central Bank. Disapproval from abroad is even less tolerated, especially from Washington - Chavez told the U.S. to "go to hell" on Sunday after a state department spokesman said the reforms caused concern. Perhaps it is fitting, then, that Chavez's tightened grip on the economy should overlap with the exit of possibly the only government economist...
