...Students for Israel. At the well-attended event in Emerson Hall, Dershowitz argued that “this is a time for Israel to be extremely generous.” He said that Israel’s strategic interests, along with moral imperatives, demand a rapid resolution of the conflict with Palestinians. Opening his remarks, Dershowitz criticized the Harvard Law School group “Justice for Palestine” for inviting Norman G. Finkelstein to speak on campus Thursday. Finkelstein, a professor of political science at DePaul University, has angered many Jewish groups with his controversial positions on Israel...
...garbage management. "Celentano is the Italian heartland," says Carlo Freccero, a former producer for Berlusconi's Mediaset network who is one of RockPolitik's lead writers.

All the rhetoric about democracy, the Iraqi constitution--I think the public is skeptical since they don't see a reduction in the insurgency. People have the feeling we're caught in a morass. What can he do? Get out of the Iraq war. It wouldn't hurt to talk...
...Indian films are like no other: a churning blend of epic conflict and cootchy choreography, of Sergio Leone and Vincente Minnelli ... This is the world's busiest movie industry. IN BOMBAY THEY CALL IT BOLLYWOOD, AND IT PUTS HOLLYWOOD TO SHAME: MORE THAN 700 FILMS A YEAR (ROUGHLY THREE TIMES THE NUMBER PRODUCED BY THE MAJOR HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS) in the nation's 16 official languages ... Western viewers expecting the delicate art films of Satyajit Ray will be in for a pleasant shock. Most Indian films are closer to the populist energy and intimate audience connection of Hong Kong films...
