...result of an intimate rapport between photographer and subject, but of an almost unbridgeable distance: the sitters are showing their best face to a foreign visitor, with many of them smiling for the camera. The result is an odd, strangely uncomfortable dynamic, but one, in the end, that both defines and underlines Wolf's work...
...biggest parties in government, Robinson's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), which is mostly supported by Protestants, and the Catholic Sinn Fein, have been at loggerheads over the devolution of policing and justice powers from London. Sinn Fein wants control over the police to be transferred to Belfast to end what it perceives as a pro-Protestant bias. But many Protestants are reluctant to change the status quo.

...essentially a feature-length rendition of the Ophelia mad scene. As Diane, a young Englishwoman in Southern California, she's in hysterics when Mitchum first sees her (they exchange hard slaps); later she toys portentously with chess pieces and glowers at us out of a fetal position.

A clear victory for one party would also be good for the country, not least because it would bring to an end a coalition government that has been deadlocked and non-functioning since it was formed last February. South African President Jacob Zuma, who has acted as the mediator between the two sides, also backs the idea of a poll. On Jan. 17, his spokesman Vincent Magwenya said Zuma was "looking forward...
