...India at 24. Each film's strongest statement is on China's brutal, 46-year occupation of Tibet. But just as both open with the soulful moan of Tibetan horns overlapped by the eerie, two-toned chanting of monks, the spiritual underlay of both is Tibet's ornate, pacifistic Buddhist belief. Says Seven Years director Jean-Jacques Annaud of his film: "Buddhism is everywhere." And he is right. Pitt's hair shines with its usual otherworldly luster, yet it is upstaged by the inner glow of his Tibetan co-stars. "I have to stay here," the young Dalai Lama says...
...makeup is called "Zen Blush"; a new sitcom, Dharma and Greg. A designer fruit-juice container entreats, "Please recycle this bottle. It deserves to be reincarnated too."

Ingersoll, a veteran of the achingly deliberative Public Integrity culture, favors the time-tested tactic of starting with small players--the Buddhist nuns, for example--and working up to bigger ones. FBI officials counter that this approach could take years. While Reno and Holder may not side with the FBI on every point, sources say they have come to agree that the case demands a more muscular approach...
