Idaho's 1,300-member Coeur d'Alene tribe announced plans for a weekly national phone-in lottery, set to begin in the fall, that would feature an initial jackpot of $50 million. Odds are high, however, that lottery officials in several states-fearful that a national lottery could siphon off local gamblers-will try to halt the ambitious venture with a series of legal challenges...
...there were signs of a less drastic outlook among a few of the elite at a Mass to commemorate Guy Malary, the young Justice Minister gunned down outside Sacre Coeur Church a year ago. Malary, who had attempted to restructure the ^ corrupt police force during Aristide's absence, had also been a pillar of the business community for 20 years.

...sensual appeal of the opera world.

Not so long before Woolf wrote, for example, World War I destroyed an entire generation of European men on the battlefield -- 8.5 million...
...Coeur En Hiver" is an indefatigably French movie, filled with minute conversation, coolly beautiful women, pensive silences and an impassioned polemic on the death of high art. There is also always a bottle or two of mineral water lying about, so much so that you wonder if somebody somewhere isn't getting paid. The film relies in part on the appealing possibilities of several settings: the workshop of an esteemed instrument-making partnership, the country home of an elderly couple, and several Parisian cafes. The restrained, somber-faced Stephane (Daniel Auteuil) is the behind-the-scenes brains of the business...
