...little of both. The vast majority of Hindi movies continue to be overly sentimental mush-fests involving Hindu-Muslim tensions, corrupt politicians, forbidden loves or a combination of all three. But my movie tastes back home, as any of my friends can tell you, were never exactly high-brow (even if you excuse Dude, Where’s My Car? as a temporary fit of insanity). And the several Indian friends I have made in Bangalore have taken it upon themselves to explain the intricacies of Hindi films to me, the ignorant American. All I know is that I have...
...first time, the No. 1 pick, KWAME BROWN, 19, drafted by the Washington Wizards, was plucked straight from high school. Three of the top four picks were high school seniors, while only four players of 28 drafted in the first round were college seniors.

Before they were elected M.E.P.s, all three worked as speechwriters or policy wonks in various E.U. institutions, picking up language skills, contacts and a shared distaste for bureaucracy. With their personal websites, e-mail campaigns and regular appearances on high-brow talkshows, they know how to work the media too. Van der Laan, in particular, is a spectacular self-publicist. Last year, she sparked an unholy debate after she urged the Netherlands to break off diplomatic links with the Vatican because of the Pope's stance on family planning...
