...likely to inflame tensions at a point when the city least needs them. The Temple Mount "is the most sensitive place in the world," says Israeli cabinet minister Haim Ramon. And December's combining of Hanukkah, Ramadan and the end of the millennium made it "the most sensitive month ever...
...seminal World War I movie, Grand Illusion often garnishes critical accolades for its anti-war message as well as Renoir's masterful use of landscape shots. In 1938, a year after its release, the film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, the first foreign film ever to receive this honor. Joseph Goebbles, the Nazi propaganda chief, called the film "Cinematic Public Enemy No. 1."

Believe it or not, that childhood TV classic can be pinpointed as the beginning of a cultural revolution.

They are like the fabled "cherry on top" of an already tasty treat of a show: they sing, they dance (do they ever!), at times they even kickbox, and they do it all in crop-tops and hip-huggers. The flygirls are a "character" or "presence" in the show as much as Jesus or Pontius Pilate (in fact, they also double as lepers, whores and other crowd members when they aren't dancing...
