...shared national feeling. When the ceremony was over, though, the country reverted to its more recent norms of chaos and calumny. Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende informed the Queen that the government he put together 87 days ago had reached a dead end. The reason: a bitter leadership feud between Economics Minister Herman Heinsbroek and Health Minister Eduard Bomhoff, both members of List Pim Fortuyn (LPF). When Balkenende, a Christian Democrat, failed to reconcile them, it was obvious that this cabinet was not going to survive. "The LPF is brilliant at carrying wood to its own funeral pyre," says...
...FEUD: James Brown's two daughters claim that the bad blood started flowing in 1998, when they had their father committed to a psychiatric institution for an addiction to painkillers. Upon release, he said he would never give them a dime. Now Deanna Brown Thomas and Yamma Brown Lumar are suing him for $1 million, alleging that they are owed back royalties for helping him write 25 songs, including many of his signature hits such as Get Up Offa That Thing.

Landers' daughter MARGO HOWARD, right, accused Van Buren's daughter, JEANNE PHILLIPS, left, of trying to cash in on Landers' death. Phillips, who inherited Dear Abby, went on Larry King Live and made public...
Beneath this icy surface of exotic ethnography and glistening photography bubbles an elemental tale of sex and violence. The blood feud leads to patricide, a rape, and a stabbing through a tepee cover (Polonius-like). Plus this is the film that answers the question What do Inuit women wear under their parkas? You will find out during a furtive, furious love scene lighted by licks of fire. Of course, the pace of Kunuk's epic is less Vin Diesel fueled than dogsled deliberate. Which is only to say that Atanarjuat is not like every other film this summer...
