...come to these festive cities to be transported to other places, other sensibilities. In Lust, Caution it's Shanghai, 1942, where four Chinese ladies in the home of Mrs. Yee (Joan Chen) are deep in those twin devious pleasures, mahjong and gossip. What three of them don't know is that the fourth, Mak Tai Tai (Tang Wei), is embarking on an affair with Mrs. Yee's husband (Tony Leung Chiu-wai), a high-level government official collaborating with the occupying Japanese. Indeed, her name is not Mak Tai Tai but Wang Chia Chih, an operative of the underground Resistance...
...yield to the gentle demands of daily life. On a recent Tuesday afternoon, residents lined up at the on-site farm to pick up their weekly share of organic fruits and vegetables, which some had helped harvest earlier in the day.

As Bogle put it a few years back, "Keynes one, Bogle...
...Friday, Benedict returned to one of his favorite themes: the growing secularization of Europe. This German-speaking country with deep Catholic roots is a case in point. One poll ahead of Benedict's trip tallied 82% of Austrians who said the visit was of little importance to them. Imploring Europeans to remember the continent's "Christian roots" and to take up the Church's battle against abortion and assisted suicide, the Pope warned against a "degeneration of tolerance into an indifference with no reference to permanent values...
