And his four-minute film about Lucie Dolène, the actor who did the voice-over of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in its 1962 French version, further examines the blurry lines between art and artist. In Snow White Lucie (1997), Dolène faces a camera in an empty film studio and sings Some Day My Prince Will Come. In subtitles she explains how Disney continued to use her voice without permission, how she sued - and won.

"We are not ready for hydrogen because of this, we are not ready for ethanol because of that," Grove says. "But what is the cost-effectiveness of something that can make you an independent country capable of making...
...seminary, the Darul Uloom at Deoband. At least two of the clerics have been suspended from their posts, but that hasn't satisfied everyone. Students at one madrassa in north India denounced the clerics, and in the city of Meerut, where a mufti, or cleric, had been caught on camera, the congregation at one mosque refused to offer prayers until he came before them, admitted to taking the money, and apologized...
