...visual style, the movie has a formal rigor familiar to the serious European cinema: just about every scene, no matter how long, is shot without cutting. (The nearly two-hour film has fewer than 70 shots.) That's often an enervating strategy, but here it works marvelously, either forcing two characters together as reluctant conspirators or isolating each in his or her predicament. Bebe's examination of Gabi, and his insertion of the syringe, is accomplished in one harrowing shot. There's a bustling scene, at the birthday party of Otilia's boyfriend's mother, that becomes a kind...
...should people be about the prospect of drug-resistant strains of influenza A? Only modestly, says World Health Organization spokeswoman Sari Setiogi in Geneva. "Influenza A has been circulating for many years. It's not likely to cause a pandemic," she says. The patients who gave samples for the European study all showed only mild symptoms. What's more, just because a flu bug has adapted to survive drug treatment, it doesn't mean the bug is necessarily more dangerous to humans. In fact, lab studies suggest that Tamiflu-resistant flu viruses may be less infectious...
...waiflike Giannini has a deep voice and feline self-assurance. Her appointment to the top spot in 2005 came with an announcement of extreme corporate confidence that belied her scant experience: the brand aimed to double revenues through 2011.

...actually lead to peace or stability. Somehow, the frame of the debate must shift. Paradoxically, the only resolution is one that renders Kosovo’s statehood immaterial. The only way to look beyond this wedge is to look above it—to the continental level of the European Union (EU).The EU must take a leading role in defusing the dispute. First, it should urge Kosovo to be patient in declaring its independence. Then the EU should guide Serbia and Kosovo, still as one country, toward separate membership in the union. Eventually, Serbia will join the EU, Kosovo...
...Party. “I suspect that the topic of Hillary Clinton will come up, and [Royal’s] insights into American and French politics and what differences or similarities exist will be instructive,” said Patricia H. Craig, the executive director for the Center for European Studies (CES). Royal, who will be visiting through a collaboration between Harvard and MIT, will be hosting two undergraduate seminars on gender in politics and the effort to rebuild the European Left. She will also be giving a talk at MIT on higher education and host a forum...
