And in Von Trier's Manderlay, set in Alabama in the 1930s, an idealistic young woman (Bruce Dallas Howard) tries to confront and cure the lingering disease of slavery...

Managing the North Korean challenge could usher in a new era of security cooperation in North Asia and allow China and Japan to resolve age-old differences and begin dealing with each other with a measure of trust. It's time for these two giants to transcend their discord and instead focus on the long-term stability of their region. When elephants fight, no one wins...
