BURUNDI Talks Abandoned Talks in Tanzania aimed at bringing peace to Burundi were abandoned by both the government and Hutu rebels. In the most serious fighting since a power-sharing agreement between Tutsi and Hutu began last November, the Burundi army said it had killed more than 200 Hutu rebels in two weeks.

...Look At Me explores the potential consequences of America’s insatiable image and information driven mass culture. What emerges is a lurid caricature of the 1990s: a “beautiful, starving Hutu refugee” models to satisfy the craze for “real” people; Charlotte’s saving grace is an Internet start-up which broadcasts, recounts and eventually rewrites the lives of representative Ordinary People (such as coal miners, fishermen, the homeless, addicts and farmers) and selected Extraordinary People (like herself) via the Internet; a terrorist is assimilated...
