Deer season, rabbit season, duck season: these have their places on the hunters' calendar. But in movie melodrama, shooting-the-President season knows no limits. Death of a President, the British fakeumentary that imagined the assassination of George W. Bush and the succeeding imposition of martial law by the new President Cheney, was a sensation at the Toronto Film festival in September 2006, though it had little impact when it opened in the U.S. six weeks later. Last March, Shooter pinned the murder of an unidentified U.S. Commander in Chief on Mark Wahlberg, who was then obliged to uncover...
...matches will be Twenty20, the newest, most helter-skelter and meaningless form of the game. There's a place for Twenty20 on the cricket calendar. A lot of people love it, which is one reason cricket authorities have resisted giving them too much of it. For 130 years, the pinnacle of cricket has been the Test match, a five-day examination of skill and nerve. It can be dull at times: even after 30 hours' play the result is occasionally a draw.

To put it mildly, in a time of rising nationalism, that's an urgent project. Why shouldn't things produced by all civilizations be widely available, not just as traveling blockbusters but on a permanent...
Back in October, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone penciled in his calendar what promised to be an important six-day trip to Cuba. That promise has suddenly multiplied, with the Catholic Church's No. 2 official set to arrive in Havana on Wednesday night, just a day after Cuban leader Fidel Castro announced the end to his 49 years in power. It is perfect timing for the Vatican, which is aiming to play a central role in the island nation's transition into what many hope will be a post-communist future...
