...devoted to Mexico, the second largest film industry in the Americas; another to Italian neo-realism, curated and introduced by Martin Scorsese. (One disappointment: in the recent month dedicated by Sophia Loren, only five of the 23 films were Italian.) A season on Asian faces in Hollywood movies veered eastward for two extremely rare Chinese silent films starring Shanghai's original tragic movie diva Ruan Lingyu...
...Indeed, those looking eastward for a white knight must have been disappointed by the words of Yi Gang , deputy governor at the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank. Speaking at the International Monetary Fund meeting in Washington on Oct. 11, Yi blamed the crisis on "weak financial-policy discipline" by Western countries and said that they should be the ones to fix the problems they had created.

Incongruity rules. For Post-Ike Galveston, like Post-Katrina New Orleans, the weather has been glorious. As the suns falls in the west, the brown pelicans head eastward, as they always do, to the wetlands, flying parallel to the 10 mile seawall that islanders had hoped would have held back the surge.

To their right, stark reminders of Hurricane Katrina - bare slabs where homes once stood, damaged streets which once led to vibrant downtowns, trees still festooned with insulation and tarpoleons meant to protect buildings that no longer exist.

At 6 a.m. EDT, the storm's center was located about 85 miles south of New Orleans and was moving northwest...
...Washington and in many former Soviet satellite states, the response to the Georgia debacle will be to continue NATO's eastward expansion and stiffen its resolve to contain a resurgent Russia. But in Western Europe, there will be growing doubts over the value of a security system built upon a structure designed to isolate and contain Russia. The problem, of course, is that NATO operates strictly by consensus, and in the absence of such consensus, paralysis may set in. Indeed, it may yet emerge that Putin's campaign in the Caucasus has succeeded not only in keeping Georgia...
