...Early reviews of the new models from Sony and Panasonic suggest they've solved the problem. Both use glasses that contain tiny shutters, opening and closing at 120 frames per second, in sync with the image on the screen to give the illusion of depth. It's a new approach that gives users a wider viewing angle, another weakness of older approaches...
...film cut to black at the end of the screening of Israeli filmmaker Avi Mograbi’s “Z32” on Sunday, a perplexed audience waited in quiet anticipation for the director to approach the Harvard Film Archive podium. The group primarily consisted of salt-and-pepper heads and a handful of students with previous ties to the documentary’s subject: the extensive moral strain on an Israeli soldier after his involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Sarkozy, by contrast, has been a ferocious critic of Iran. Just three months after his May 2007 election, for example, Sarkozy said the specter of a "nuclear-armed Iran is for me unacceptable" and such an eventuality would present a "catastrophic alternative: the Iranian bomb or the bombing of Iran." In his Wednesday-night TV interview, Sarkozy warned that while "Iran has the right...
