...have more in common than is evident at first glance; Moore plays the outsider, unkempt and loud, but he does share two things with Edwards: blue-collar roots and an unapologetically populist stance. Moore's radical sarcasm differs from Edwards' sunny, Clintonian bonhomie, but both are effective. Moore's bold, baldly manipulative film was already the biggest-grossing documentary ever in the U.S. when it began rolling out across Europe last week. It's too soon to say whether Fahrenheit 9/11 will change the way anyone votes or even energize the Democratic base. But there is a long tradition...
...marriage to Ferdinand Marcos, the voracious ambitions of this spoiled child and her dictator husband were to have an appalling impact on the Philippines. In 1972, the Marcoses did away with all democratic institutions.

The subtext of this disturbing tape is that for the U.S. this is likely to be a long, drawn out fight in Iraq against a committed, well-organized enemy...
...Whatever the reason for Asia's increasing mastery of Western music, the musicians themselves are shedding their modest reserve. His behavior on the conducting podium may be self-effacing, but Lan Shui talks about the Singapore Symphony Orchestra in bold, even hubristic terms. On the morning after his performance of the "Symphony of a Thousand" at the Esplanade, he asserts, "I think it's possible for us to play Mahler better than the Vienna Philharmonic. When we toured Japan with Mahler's Ninth Symphony, there were one or two performances that were as good as Vienna's?or not worse...
