...their necks and yours. In these scenes and another in a basement bar where the smallest wrong gesture cues a bloodbath, Tarantino shows how to achieve drama through whispers and forced smiles. The parallel plot of a budding romance between Shosanna and a German war hero (Daniel Brühl) has a similar trajectory - the pot simmers, then the lid blows off - and the same artful mix of subtlety and surprise. These vignettes work much better than the big set pieces, with the Nazis in the movie theater or the Basterds in the field. You needn't scalp...
...kind of supersleuth "Jew hunter" with a chatty, almost courtly demeanor, discovers and kills most of a Jewish family hiding in the cellar of a French farm. One girl, Shoshanna, escapes to Paris, where she runs a movie theater. She meets a young soldier, Frederick Zoller (Daniel Brühl of Good Bye Lenin!) who has become a battlefield hero and starred in his own military biopic, which is to receive its world premiere at Shoshanna's theater with top Nazis in attendance...
...building stands apart. Littered with beer cans and stolen Kong signs, Lincoln’s Inn—the former home of a now defunct social group—was one of the only places on campus where students could escape the Bar at a bar.

...Indeed, terrorism has moved on since the RAF's class-struggle attacks. For all its viciousness, the RAF was not out to indiscriminately kill large numbers of civilians. But neither were its members the high-minded revolutionaries their admirers wanted them to be. Bettina Röhl, who recently wrote an acclaimed biography of her mother, Ulrike Meinhof, argues that Germany "has a problem" with the RAF. "Our society needs to stop turning them into stars," she told Time. Instead, she said, it needs to "treat the RAF rationally, as 'normal' criminals." For Röhl, younger Germans' inclination...
...biggest and most competitive markets anywhere, the Australians have gone from exotic afterthought to undisputed market leader in a few years. The French barely reacted to these seismic shifts, largely because global wine consumption has been growing, up about 10% in the last decade to 240 million hL. But now so many people have got into the winemaking business that the world is awash in far too much of the stuff. In 2004, worldwide production hit its highest level in 20 years, almost 300 million hL, or 15% higher than the previous year. And it's not just producers like...
