...looks like Vietnam. One day soldiers arrive (conspicuously similar to American G.I.s) and destroy the village. She flees through the jungle and across the sea. She arrives at a modern city with dark, bedraggled citizens under constant surveillance. She meets a street musician, who after being arrested by the fascist police force, leaves her with child. At the end, the cry of the newborn continues the father's song...
...child of a middle-class Viennese Jewish family, Lerner was a teenager when the fascist regime came to power in Austria in 1934. She became engaged in the underground student resistance movement, but when the Nazi takeover later forced her and her family into exile, she alone escaped to the U.S. to join the radical leftist party and embark on her academic career...

Last month, as law and order obsessions turned the presidential race into a single-issue campaign, a stunning 36.1% of Beaucaire's voters opted for Le Pen's neo-fascist message during first-round polling. A numbing 40% then backed his run-off against Chirac. While dramatic, Beaucaire's lurch to the extreme right was not unique. All told, Le Pen's 26.7% run-off score in the Gard far outpaced his national count of 17.8%. In the otherwise charming...
