...stuff of which Lynch films are made. A script? Not so much. Because he's considered an auteur, Lynch was able to convene a cast, including Jeremy Irons and Harry Dean Stanton, before he wrote Empire. "I'd get an idea for a scene, write the scene, gather people together and shoot that scene," says Lynch. "I didn't know if the second scene would relate to the first or the third." This is where Lynch's decades-long commitment to transcendental meditation--which he documents in a new book, Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity--came...
There's precious little light in Iceland during the winter, which makes the upper latitudes ideal for viewing the northern lights--especially on New Year's Eve. In Reykjavík, Icelanders gather around dozens of massive bonfires to sing traditional folk songs accompanied, according to local legend, by trolls, fairies and elves. (Iceland's Tourist Board claims that 80% of Icelanders believe in little beings.) At midnight the city explodes in a massive fireworks display.

After about 30 minutes outside, tutors informed the residents of D entryway that they would not be allowed back into their rooms—and told a frigid crowd that any student found in the closed entryway would be arrested. The 34 displaced students were left...
...death by holding the police responsible for events outside the stadium. Pundits appear to be taking some strange comfort in the fact that France's hooligan problem is limited to Paris. Under pressure from a public outcry, PSG said it was closing a 2,000-seat section where ultras gather. That's certainly preferable to its previous policies of appeasement that granted salaried usher and security jobs to notorious hooligans in the hopes they'd keep their chums in order during games. But it's far from the decisive eradication the situation merits. Indeed, PSG fans say the section closure...
