...fractured society. For many of its ?lite - the people who work for Vivendi and Airbus, have Harvard M.B.A.s and speak perfect English - globalization and a free-market economy offer glittering opportunities. But for others - and this is true elsewhere in Europe - the modern world is a threat. "Europe," says Bernard Guetta, a columnist at L'Express, "is frightened of the new century." Some French see national identity challenged by immigration and the rise of Islam; they witness governmental powers ineluctably shifting from Paris to the European Union.

...L.A.P.D. and the district attorney's office, needless to say, don't want a Simpson-like case--especially now.

...race movie "Broken Strings," well directed by western-movie specialist Bernard B. Ray, Muse is a violin virtuoso who turns bitter when he loses use of his left hand and is reduced to teaching the instrument he can no longer play. Muse's Arthur Williams is part Svengali, part Phantom of the Opera, and a big part any adult frustrated by the seeming lack of dedication the young bring to their studies. It's the rare film, for black or white audiences, in which good people can seem heartless or insubordinate for the best reasons, and where classical music gets...
