...event here is a simple act of generosity: a Japanese man (Kôji Yakusho), on a hunt in Morocco, gives his local guide his Winchester rifle as a present. The guide sells the gun to a goatherd, who entrusts it to his two pre-teen sons to keep jackals away from the herd. The younger son, Yussef (Boubker Ait El Caid), a better shot with a more reckless disposition, tests the rifle's shooting distance by taking thoughtless aim at a bus on the road below their mountain redoubt. He fires, critically wounding one of the tourists inside...
...prevent future attacks. Officials say the best ways to avoid becoming dinner for an alligator are not to feed the animals, which can lead them to lose their natural wariness; to stay away from the water's edge at dusk and dawn, when the creatures tend to hunt; and to be generally wary in and around the water.

...about communities: though we might wish it otherwise, people find unity and value by focusing together on what they oppose.

They're not intrinsically visual or movie-dramatic, however many car chases the Howard version cranks...
...when Napoleon sent scientific voyages to the South Pacific. Napoleon's artists were the first to document Tasmania's Aborigines as individuals rather than types, even recording their songs and dance. "It's a tradition that's been rich and sustained over a long period of time," says Susan Hunt, curator of the 1999 show "Terre Napol?on: Australia Through French Eyes." "So this hasn't just come from nowhere." Indeed, during the 1950s, Paris-based artist Karel Kupka was the first to collect Arnhem Land barks as pieces of art, not anthropology; many of them will be displayed...
