...Professional diplomats will say a summit is too ambitious. Relationships are built slowly, carefully. Groundwork must be done at the ministerial level. Diplomats are cautious, and they don't like to stage a summit unless a deal has been precooked. Fine, but a beginning must be made. The ultimate deal could be something as modest as a vague statement of mutual purpose: "We, the undersigned, agree that Iraq should continue to exist within its current borders with a federal government that represents all existing ethnic and religious interests." Or it could be as ambitious as the Afghanistan process, or even...
...probably never heard of Adoor Gopalakrishnan, and for a long time that was fine with him. He's an art-film director in Bollywood-besotted India, and he makes movies not in Hindi but in Malayalam, the language of his native Kerala - two strikes against widespread recognition. A temperamental auteur whose cinematic talents - and ego - are in inverse proportion to his low-key fame, Adoor's intense, demanding films have been worshiped by Indian and foreign critics and celebrated in self-consciously sophisticated Kerala, yet they've barely been released in much of India.

...copying in museums. A handful of his pencil copies are included in the retrospective, along with delightful 1976 photos by Franck that show him sketching in Paris' Museum of Natural History, calmly ensconced in a spiky forest of prehistoric skeletons with huge tusks and twisted horns. A self-described "fine family's son gone bad," Cartier-Bresson grew up surrounded by art, and it has always been his first love. His father kept a sketchbook and his uncle Louis was a painter who studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Villa Médicis. His wealthy Parisian thread...
