...recently greater claims have been staked on the film's behalf. Gibson's production company has marketed it to church groups as "perhaps the best outreach opportunity in 2,000 years," and conservative Christian luminaries have embraced it as such. The Rev. Ted Haggard, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, compares the work to that of Michelangelo, who captured the spirituality of a more expansive age. Like the Sistine ceiling, Haggard says, The Passion of the Christ will inspire believers for decades or even centuries...
...confidant and anointed successor as President of the Republic. After he tried to force through a raft of unpopular reforms as Prime Minister, Juppé's disdain for public opinion contributed to his humiliating ouster in 1997. So it came as something of a shock to see a pale, haggard Juppé claiming to be a victim on national television last week. "I didn't deserve this.

...meter ice vessels, each carrying about 100 passengers. Other trips leave from Christchurch, New Zealand; Hobart, Tasmania; and South Africa's Cape Town. All offer a beguiling array of experiences from close-up views of mothballed whaling stations to courtesy calls at scientific ghost towns inhabited by haggard meteorologists and bearded seal watchers. Even more spectacular are vistas of primordial glaciers?vertiginous, 2,000-meter mountains and icy bays teeming with whales and penguins. It doesn't get more pristine or elemental than this...
