...father turned down the job in deference to the slain Benazir's expressed wishes. The senior PPP official, who requested anonymity to allow him to speak more openly, told TIME that Bilawal will head the party, and that the party's deputy leader and longtime Benazir loyalist, Mukhdoom Amin Fahim, is likely to become the prime minister, assuming the party wins a majority in parliament. Bilawal would take over as the parliamentary leader once he finishes his studies and once he has more experience, the official said. Earlier in the day PPP Senator Awan told TIME that Bilawal...

...Barbet Schroeder has directed movies with stars like Jeremy Irons, Sandra Bullock and Gérard Depardieu. But he has also made documentaries, including up-close studies of Idi Amin Dada and Koko the talking gorilla. His new film, Terror's Advocate, is a biopic of Jacques Vergès, the French lawyer who has defended many of the 20th century's most notorious miscreants, from Carlos the Jackal to the Nazi "Butcher of Lyon," Klaus Barbie.
