...WHAT IT'S ABOUT] Study proposing modern European global dominance is the result of advantageous geography, not genetic superiority...
Holbrooke may be more successful in persuading European countries to step up their aid to Kosovo, including some of the promised donations that have not yet arrived. Scores of villages have received no help, hundreds of factories sit idle, and more than 70,000 roofs need repair. "The clock," says a European aid official, "is ticking faster than we can move." And with Pristina's air already carrying a hint of winter nip, it is clear there won't be much room for error. Between sessions with U.N. workers, Holbrooke planned to drop in for a visit at Tricky Dick...
...setting is a 19th century, New York City theatrical company, but this utterly beguiling film has a European manner about it. Everyone in it is either darkly obsessive or madly grand.

She's foraged for voices outside the media hothouse and let them vent as if they were at a dinner party (or logged on to e-mail). Physically, the magazine owes its effect to European large-format glossies like Paris-Match and Stern. A run through its pages is like watching a moving picture of short and long takes, dense alongside superficial; a centerfold of short bites about the Best Talkers up against a long essay on the joys of country life by a Manhattan...
