With Raśl in charge, there's reason for some cautious hope. Compared with the flamboyantly inflexible Fidel, the beardless and bespectacled Raśl is an earthier, more pragmatic figure, who has nudged his country's ossified economy toward capitalism and encouraged some discussion about liberalizing its repressive politics. That's quite a turnaround for Raśl, who has been Cuba's military chief since Fidel took power in 1959 and was known as his brother's political enforcer, a ruthless ideological hard-liner. But after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba's economic benefactor, it was Raśl who persuaded Fidel...
...earthier taste of Montreal, head to Boulevard Saint-Laurent, where the street's character has been forged like a pearl out of constant friction between generations of immigrants, poets, nihilists, students and most recently the inevitable yuppies. The funkiest part, between Rue Sherbrooke and Rue des Pins, is filled with a pungent mix of great restaurants, cafes, food stores, nightclubs and local-designer clothing shops. Continue north past Rue des Pins to Schwartz's Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen, the best place in the Milky Way to sample smoked meat sandwiches (a delicious slice of the pastrami-corned beef food group). Even...
...tokyo gallery usually reserved for the painterly impressions of Renoir's bathers, Monet's water lilies and Van Gogh's windmills, a group of white-gloved, green-uniformed installation specialists have gathered round the much earthier canvas of Judy Watson's Aboriginal Shield, which has come all the way from Wollongong. Around the corner, Ken Thaiday Senior's tiger-shark headdress occupies a cabinet where early Greek and Egyptian antiquities are normally housed. But this day the biggest impression comes when Patricia Piccinini's mutant possum sculpture emerges-bearing impossibly lifelike wrinkles, hair and fangs-from its packing box. "With...
...price, is a key factor in choosing a wine. And natural wines are usually subtler and more complex than conventional wines, although some have rough edges. People who favor a Pinot Noir that smells like cherry-vanilla ice cream may find it an adjustment to savor one with an earthier bouquet. Many natural wines are affordable, with delicious choices, such as the Loire Valley's Clos Roche Blanche reds and whites (ranging in price from $12 to $20) and Coturri's ($20 to $30 a bottle...
...makeshift studio near Kiama, on the N.S.W. South Coast. "We took a Method approach," explains FitzGerald. The acting analogy is apt, since the music provides much of Heidi's inner voice. You can hear it in Heidi's Theme, where a delicate xylophone arpeggio rises above the earthier glockenspiel, perhaps symbolizing Worthington's character Joe. But it's not all so harmonious. For Rough Sex, Decoder Ring provide a jarring guitar riff to accompany one of Heidi's teenage tumbles. It lasts barely three minutes. Elsewhere in Somersault, the frisson between image and sound is pure cinema. "Cate...
