...Cannes. They invited her to an audition for the lead for The Silence of Lorna. And if a war couldn't stop Dobroshi from pursuing her acting career, the fact that the only French she knew was the days of the week wouldn't stop her either. "If someone tells me 'You can't do this', it just makes me try harder," she laughs...

Over the past 60 years, many of the benefits that both blue- and white-collar workers hold dear were either won or expanded by the UAW. That includes pensions, early retirement, overtime, total health-care coverage and paid holidays.

Though he doesn't deny Raphael's allegations, he refuses to acknowledge their seriousness either: "The incidents may be true, but they are isolated cases." Clearly, it's time to connect the dots and see the bigger picture...
