...worked because, despite the seriousness of its theme, it had the sheen of glamour about it - the fabulous country house, the upscale condo in town, its general air of luxe. You might not like its people, but you couldn't help but admire their lifestyles. "I want that," an inner voice kept crying, as if it were a TV commercial sound bite. Cassandra's Dream is much more tough-minded. And much less immediately appealing. I walked out of the screening, over a month ago, admiring it, but not deeply moved. Yet the movie has stayed with...
...There has never been a better time to be gay in China, but as Destination's somewhat schizophrenic combination of outer reserve and inner exuberance demonstrates, it still pays to be careful. Beijing's attitude has been described as a "Triple no" policy: no approval, no disapproval, no promotion.

That hands-off approach - a sort of commercial don't ask, don't tell policy - is emblematic of the delicacy with which the Communist regime is learning to deal with many of the issues concerning personal liberties that are increasingly being raised by its burgeoning middle class. For their part, homosexuals...
...start. Earlier that day she had even attacked Obama using Mondale's famous line about Gary Hart, "Where's the beef?" But now she seemed to be shedding her private dismay that she could never be a charismatic politician like Obama or Kennedy, or her husband, and embracing her inner Johnson?at least the can-do policy-wonk version of that notoriously strange President. But she would be Johnson with a twist, with passion and with a specific constituency in mind: all those women who had to juggle jobs, children, careless, selfish men, and menopause?and, all too often, divorce...
