...filmmakers deliberately steered clear of revealing any personal or intimate details of her captivity. "We respected her boundaries," says Patricia Schlesinger, head of the culture and documentary department at NDR.

Had I not forgiven him, I would have been filled with so much hatred and negative feelings that I couldn't have survived it all - that would have left me psychologically and physically damaged," she says.

Bernanke makes a convincing case that the remarkably loose monetary policies he supported under his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, did not create the housing bubble; it's amusing to see longtime Greenspan fanboys like John McCain trashing Bernanke for insufficient foresight. And while the Fed should have provided stronger...
...mere fraction of the million who request them. (The restaurant is open only about half the year.) Indeed, despite its 230-euro price tag, dinner at every table for the six months that the restaurant is open is assigned in a single day. And now that it's clear that this year's reservations lottery may well be elBulli's penultimate, the number of gourmands clamoring to get in will surely grow. (Is elBulli's creation food...
