...repair the Church's relationship with the Jewish people dates back to his own role at Vatican II as an eloquent and forceful advocate of its language against anti-Semitism and clearing the Jews of the charge of deicide. He was the first Pope of the modern era to enter a synagogue; the Vatican recognized the State of Israel in his tenure; and went to Jerusalem to deliver a heartfelt apology for the history of Catholic mistreatment of Jews. Although they were not satisfied by what they saw as his failure to acknowledge the corporate responsibility of the Church...
...phrase that Russian President Vladimir Putin's propaganda machine has come up with to describe what passes for life in Chechnya. When a mine blew up recently near the campus of Grozny University, a student looked at his watch and quipped, "Normalization is early today." Normalization is scheduled to enter a new phase this week, with the expected announcement of election results for the Chechen presidency. Chechens had little choice but to vote for Putin's hand-picked nominee, Akhmad Kadyrov, 52, head of the Moscow-appointed administration in Chechnya. The former mufti, or chief Islamic legal authority, of Chechnya...
...Swinton, whose career is supple enough to include independent films like Young Adam and Hollywood blockbusters like The Beach, personifies the individual yet popular reach to which the designers aspire.

Even without the Louvre show, this has been a pretty fathomable and user-friendly year for the duo. They did a capsule collection of j180 tuxedos, ?60 shirts and ?170 trousers for the famous La Redoute mail-order catalog in France. And with a little help from Swinton...

Because they were unable to enter bars or nightclubs, it was not uncommon to find groups of young people drinking at night on inner-city streets or in public places. Many resorted to making fake IDs and persuading friends and older siblings to purchase alcohol...
...Clintonian jujitsu. He took education--and a hoary liberal slogan--away from the Democrats with his "No Child Left Behind" act. The Department of Homeland Security was a Democratic idea, which he opposed, until he embraced it. If congressional Republicans can stop squabbling among themselves, Bush could well enter his re-election campaign having accomplished that most ancient and moldy of Democratic dreams, a new prescription-drug benefit for the elderly. His would be a fairly lousy benefit, but no one will notice because the program doesn't begin until...
