...During the trials, stories of dieting and drugs swirled around the femme fatale, who complained of a muscle-wasting disease and went to shooting-up classes at a friend's house bearing gifts of Danish pastries. As her own father says, "Beautiful girl! Beautifully dressed! Who went to clubs!" This is a story filled with exclamation points. Unfortunately, it isn't one the author can fully tell. With access only to Cinque's grieving parents, an increasingly "cranky" Garner fills out her narrative with personal asides, briefly considers fictionalizing events, and ends up reading Crime and Punishment...
...Zabriskie Called to Account DENMARK The government ordered home the commander of its 500 troops in Iraq and three other officers following allegations involving the treatment of Iraqi civilian prisoners. The four were suspended pending an investigation into their "judgment on how detainees should be treated," according to a Danish military spokesman. The case stems from an ongoing investigation into charges that another officer, Captain Annemette Hommel, mistreated Iraqis at the Danish base north of Basra. Hommel was formally charged with negligence. She denies any wrongdoing. Unwelcome Guests SUDAN Tens of thousands of people marched in Khartoum in a state...
...literally and metaphorically, perpetually shining on him. He has a sweet, sexy relationship with his wife, an actress named Maria (Lisa Werlinder), and he owns a chic, prospering restaurant in Stockholm.

...sponsorship strategy has yielded a few early successes. For the soccer team, the N.O.C.I. has inked two-year deals with LG Electronics, a South Korean company; Iraqna, a subsidiary of Egyptian conglomerate Orascom; and Bestseller, a Danish apparel company. Each contract is worth between $300,000 and $550,000. The N.O.C.I. has reached out to U.S. companies with less success. A delegation met with Nike and Motorola in April. "It was the pitch from hell," says Hayder al-Fekaiki, director of IraqiSport, a London-based start-up that the N.O.C.I. hired to help negotiate its sponsorship deals. He cited...
Lars Von Trier, the Danish auteur OF Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark and Dogville, positively revels in his reputation as a demonic director, a sadist-artist. He's known to torture actors--and often audiences--with his bizarre methods of moviemaking. With The Five Obstructions, he exercises his movie malevolence on a fellow filmmaker (and Dane), the veteran Jorgen Leth...
