...Still, there are those who see too much opportunity to quit the country. At the Sulawesi gold-mine site, Dave Morrison has begun hiring contractors to complete facilities construction. Archipelago hopes to start digging next year. "Everyone is telling the truth from their own aspect," Morrison says of the controversy surrounding the mine. "I'm confident that things will move forward." If Indonesia's leaders did more to reinforce that confidence, perhaps the country's promise, like its gold, won't always seem out of reach...

Rather, it’s the totalizing philosophy the governor seems to have picked...
...kind of punishment that won kudos for Lon Chaney and Paul Muni in the old days, and helped Robert De Niro to an Oscar in Raging Bull playing Jake LaMotta. (He got himself into fighting shape, then he gained a ton of weight! Acting!) Beyond the stunt aspect, Rourke does strong, sensitive work. All praise to him, and to Darren Aronofsky for casting the actor and directing him to turn a standard fiction into quirky, coherent behavior...
