...protesters were carrying signs saying we don't want to be offside anymore, using the film that almost nobody has seen - but everyone's heard about - to further their cause. Could this be the stirrings of an impending cultural renaissance? Probably not. Offside was relegated to "a guest slot" at Fajr. "It was not shown as an important film," says Panahi. "They didn't give any value to it." Even with the freedom to speak their minds, the directors at Berlin didn't say anything controversial.

The House leadership is in a tight spot - they need to show some progress on the issue to placate angry anti-immigrant forces in the country. But the President and Senate want guest workers and a path to citizenship as part...
...enough trouble moving 250,000 New Orleanians who wanted to be evacuated. "And we knew where they were," she gibes.) But Bush's attempt to thread the needle-coming up with a bill that's tough enough to appease his conservative base and still containing enough of a guest worker program to make it look like a victory-seems difficult at this point because he lacks the sheer political muscle to sell the plan...
