...work of just one choreographer," Ratmansky says. Unlike years past, when a dancer's name - like Baryshnikov or Maximova - would be a key advertising point, at the new Bolshoi it is choreographers Wheeldon and Tharp who are the big draws. Their arrival in Moscow "heralds a more youthful, flexible approach to choreography," says Winnipeg's Lewis. "What Ratmansky is doing may change ballet...

Inter-sect relations, political and personal, began to fray with the approach of Iraq's first post-Saddam election in January 2005. Sunni parties boycotted the poll, allowing a Shi'ite coalition to sweep to power. With an assertiveness that at times bordered on arrogance, the Shi'ite-led government inflamed Sunni resentment. An especially sore point was the mass recruitment into the police and the military of Shi'ite militiamen, some of whom used the immunity of their uniforms to avenge old grudges against Sunnis.

"Martini exhibits the best Jesuit qualities of unwavering loyalty to the church, and courageous leadership in reading the signs of the times and addressing contemporary issues with credibility," says Pecklers. "Most bishops retire into the shade. But Martini is as present as ever, and still a real prophetic voice within the Church hierarchy."

Several U.S. lawmakers had already expressed reservations about the Bush administration's 2008 budget request for Colombia, which they had hoped would shift its focus to supporting social programs rather than continuing a militaristic approach.
