...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. But with the visually generous Shadow...

Reading Phoebe Kosman’s recent column “Just One Word: Plastics,” I found myself frustrated with the author’s narrow view of acceptable career paths ( April 23 ). Not cut out to be an investment banker? That’s fine, and it doesn’t mean that grocery bagger (which, I hasten to add, most certainly does count as a career for many people not so fortunate as Kosman; her dig there counts not as humor but as classism) is the only option left...

...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...
