...donning since the fall of Saddam Hussein?s regime. She speaks Arabic well enough to get by, but employed a translator, Enwiyah, an Iraqi Christian, for complicated interviews. Her language skills have allowed her to interview Iraqis on the streets, and she said that her respect for their dress and customs have often led them to welcome her and to open their lives to her. Often she spoke of the kindness that Iraqi women showed her or the protection Iraqi men offered after she interviewed them, whether in their gilded offices or their hardscrabble homes...

It is a nice step up for the blue-collar kid from Philly, who distinguished herself on E.R. and as William Macy's girlfriend in The Cooler.

The atmospheric, accomplished work could have been painted yesterday. In fact it's dated 1886, and was one of the first works shown in public by French painter Henri Rousseau (1844-1910). The artist's flat, hard-edged style and singular imagination owed nothing to anybody. His pictures could be ordinary or outrageous: he depicted the bourgeoisie wearing their Sunday best and he painted mysterious...
