...astronomy are different, but these old Aussies with their Scottish, Irish and English accents are familiar), it is because + David Malouf writes about his historical compatriots as if they had never left the British Isles. Their bodies may be in the boundless Down Under, but their heads are still full of neat patches of sod, heather and greensward. Not to mention the God of their fathers, who blesses the seeding of new continents. The dangers of cultural crossings are unavoidable, as Malouf's title suggests.

Since the people in The Exiles rehearsed some of their scenes, the movie may not fit the precise definition of a documentary. But it is a precious document of a vanished culture. (The film is eloquently excerpted in Thom Anderson's excellent history of the city, Los Angeles...
...generated a huge public reaction: Giuliano Ferrara, a well-known atheist newspaper editor who now regularly sides with the Vatican, called on Italians to bring bottles of water to the Duomo of Milan to protest against the possibility of cutting off nourishment - which hundreds continue to do. The full and half-full green and clear bottles of different sized bottles have turned into a makeshift altar outside the famous downtown cathedral. The Milan daily Corriere della Sera published a front-page open letter Wednesday from Adriano Celantano, Italy's legendary singer and showman. While offering Englaro's father sympathy...
