...name of holding lessons on Islam," says a government source. "No one suspected anything, and it was considered a good thing." The meetings, which attendees sometimes referred to as "motivation courses," actually featured diatribes against the Malaysian government and calls to Islamic activism. Students who displayed the proper ardor were sent by Azahari to Afghanistan, according to the police. After the Bali blasts, Azahari went on the run, probably fleeing to southern Thailand, although Malaysian police say he continued to use his campus e-mail account to communicate with fellow jihadis...

...Bond film." In truth, he just wants a "traditional" Bond. After Dr. No's release in 1962, the Vatican condemned the film's amorality, and in 1965, TIME disdained the popularity of "the sex, violence and snobbery with which Fleming endowed his British secret agent." But lately Bond's ardor has been mostly martial. "I was worried that he was turning into an SAS man, machine-gunning everyone," says Tamahori. "I've been trying to make him more of an Ian Fleming Bond...

...standard" for the newly democratic nations of the east, "a way of completing both symbolically and materially the move to the West." Now the aspirant countries are more skeptical. Their politicians still want in, but are trying to get better terms. This is not ingratitude, or irrationality, but maturity.

Maybe that's a sign that this historic union will work after all: the newcomers will fit right into the club...

...radio. Soaring Broadway ballads, dewy with emotion, were instant anachronisms. A few female singers did essay the occasional show tune: Aretha Franklin did a rousing "Are You Sure" from "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," and Ketty Lester turned "Once Upon a Time" into the last frail breath of remembered ardor. But these thrushes were crowded out of the Top 40 by jail-bait divas like Rosie Hamlin ("Angel Baby"), Little Peggy March ("I Will Follow Him") and Lesley Gore ("It's My Party"), and by the teen girl groups. Many of the anthems they sang, of suicidal angst or jolting...

...glorious, multicolored archangel lifting the last trumpet. Kandinsky is perhaps suggesting the confusion, delight and anxiety we might feel on encountering such a being. Alexei von Jawlensky, another Blaue Reiter, wrote of the years 1905-06, "I understood how to translate nature into color according to the ardor of my soul." His drawing became schematic, as color carried his paintings' emotional content. In Helene with Dark Blue Turban (1910) the clash between the cold fuchsia background and the warm red of Helene's blouse delivers an electric charge. Emotion and ardor fill the collection, as if Gabrielle and Werner Merzbacher...
