...window. He explains that when Israeli soldiers neared a Lebanese town, dogs would bark at them alerting the locals to invaders, so his job was to shoot the dogs. Forman gets to wondering what experiences of war he may have repressed, and this leads him to interview other veterans of his brigade. The movie was first shot as a regular video, then stylized (by Yoni Goodman) into its current form, using three forms of animation: Flash, old-fashioned cel and state-of-the-art CGI. The look is spare and evocative, with simple renderings of the conversations that splash into...

"There is an absolute difference between knowing that you are likely to die--let's say, within the next year--and not knowing when you are going to die," she said during a tearful radio interview. Ever unflinching in her writing, O'Faolain explored the struggle of growing up poor in mid-20th century Ireland in her first memoir, Are You Somebody?, before penning the novel My Dream of You, also set in her homeland.

McCain economic adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin recently floated the trapdoor position in an interview with the online environmental magazine Grist, but McCain quashed it in his Portland speech, promising action no matter what China does. "If the efforts to negotiate an international solution that includes China and India do not succeed," he said, "we still have an obligation...

Early this month, aides pounced on Obama's suggestion in a television interview that McCain was "losing his bearings as he pursues the nomination" by making negative attacks. Within hours, adviser Mark Salter had released a blistering memo saying the comment was a "not particularly clever" knock on McCain's age.
