...Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), an initiative to expand North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to 34 nations of the Western Hemisphere (with the exception of Cuba), brought thousands of protesters to Miami this past week, as well as a delegation of Harvard students sent by the Institute of Politics to observe the action. Media mogul Conrad Black has labeled activists who resist trade liberalization “the political equivalent of football hooligans.” He maintains that, “They are incapable of coherent articulation and they should be dispelled with as little force...

...anyone who has had the chance to see his movies, the choice is easy. In recent years Kon has been expanding the boundaries of his medium, tackling themes traditionally untouched by anim?: criminal insanity, exploitation of women in popular culture and the fine line separating reality and illusion. In the process, he has created some of the most original?and grownup?animation ever released. Kon's third and latest feature, Tokyo Godfathers, recently opened in Japan to packed cinemas and looks certain to expand his fan base beyond the connoisseurs who have formed his core audience...
