...Import Export. Director Ulrich Seidl tells two unrelated stories - of Austrian men working in Ukraine, and of a young Ukrainian woman who comes to Austria - with the earthshaking message that men are bad and women put up with them. The guys spend their spare time degrading women they pick up in bars, making one strip, crawl on the floor and bark like a dog. Women pose naked before a camera, following the rude commands of Web cam masturbators. In a hospital for the aged, nurses perform perfunctory tasks for old droolers, whom Seidl photographs unpityingly. The humiliations - of the characters...

And yet students are continually shut out of important decisions. For example, in decisions concerning...
...Sarkozy's global warming plans could eventually lead to conflict with Washington, because the President-elect plans to get his European Union partners to impose import taxes on all polluting goods produced in countries that declined to embrace the Kyoto accords. Meanwhile, Sarkozy's strong opposition to Turkey's admission to the EU also runs counter to long-running American lobbying on behalf of Ankara. Though less pedantic in his declarations on the matter, Sarkozy shares Chirac's view that international issues must be addressed multilaterally among equal partners. Washington can also expect no aid on an Iraq war that...
