...Carl Jung and Ibsen's Brand onstage. He does not encourage the whole star thing. And, at 42, he's back in style as film's most winning lost soul. The Constant Gardener, an exhilarating take on John Le Carré's novel, by Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and screenwriter Jeffrey Caine, is one of five Fiennes films to be released in 2005 (see box). He's a decadent art historian in Chromophobia (still awaiting a U.S. distributor), an upper-class satire that involved three of the six Fiennes siblings: sister Martha wrote and directed; brother Magnus composed...
More sinister are signs of death squads charged with eliminating potential opponents and former Baathists. U.S. intelligence sources confirm that early targets included former members of the Iran section of Saddam's intelligence services. In southern cities, Thar-Allah (Vengeance of God) is one of a number of militant groups suspected of assassinations. U.S. commanders in Baghdad and in eastern provinces say similar cells operate in their sectors. The chief of the Iraqi National Intelligence Service, General Mohammed Abdullah al-Shahwani, has publicly accused Iranian-backed cells of hunting down and killing his officers. In October he blamed agents...

But the scripts resort to contrivance and coincidence to keep the pair at the center of events. In Episode...
...intent on turning it into a test of Israel's very identity. In this showdown, Sharon's detractors--including former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who resigned from the Cabinet last week to side with the opposition--claim the higher power of divine right is on their side: the land God gave to the Jews cannot be given away by any state. The issues raised for the country are cosmic. Will a minority of settlers who have long enjoyed an outsize ability to set the national agenda continue to shape the country's destiny? Will Israelis live by the laws...
...wonder then that MN4 has been named Apophis, the Greek name for the Egyptian god of evil, destruction and darkness. But days after the initial discovery of the asteroid's trajectory, when astronomers found earlier, overlooked photos of the intruder in their archives and used them to refine estimates of its orbit, they were able to issue an all-clear. Apophis, it turns out, will come within as little as 15,000 miles from of Earth and will be visible to the naked eye in Europe and Africa on the evening of that April date, but will zoom safely past...
