...Shah Rukh Khan, the shimmying, flexing, weeping pretty boy who is still the industry's most bankable star, or Aamir Khan, the slick lead of the recent megahit 3 Idiots. Instead, Irrfan Khan has become the inspiration for all those talented actors who don't dance and aren't leading-man handsome. "It's very deep," Nair says of his impact. After watching Khan's performance in Maqbool, Sharma moved back to Mumbai and restarted his career as an actor. He recalls thinking, "This was something different in Indian cinema...
...truth, conservationists aren't even sure exactly how many captive tigers there are in the U.S., although their estimate exceeds 5,000. That includes not just tigers in zoos and private wildlife reserves, but animals kept by private owners as pets, sometimes in terrible conditions.

While the media are now filled with fretting by conservatives about the right's chances in the March elections, politicians on the left aren't tempting fate by predicting victory. The left is, however, using the opportunity to bash Sarkozy's government. "What a fiasco: Operation National Identity, which was supposed to raise deep questions ends up in a retreat with its tail hanging to the tune of a cracked trumpet," Laurent Joffrin, editor...
...hoping that the Prius malfunctions don't lead to accidents, because the odds are I'd get run over. But I also hope they point out to Prius owners that their lives aren't perfect. So for now, I'm going to make fun of how their vehicles of the future can't figure out how brakes work. The only thing better than this would be if they recalled yoga...
