Accompanied by his obscenely obese producer Azamat Bagatov (Ken Davitian), Borat has come to the U.S. to make a documentary for his countrymen about the world's most powerful nation. He is a mass of homegrown superstitions (he brings with him "a jar of gypsy tears" to prevent AIDS) and prejudices (against Jews, whom he has apparently never encountered). Checking into a Manhattan hotel, he is accompanied by the manager into the elevator, where he starts to unpack his suitcase, then demands "a smaller room." He runs through a crowded subway car vivaciously hugging wary...
...terrorism [Aug. 21] brought back a bad memory. Thirteen years ago, I was on a plane traveling from my native city, Lucknow, to New Delhi.

My worst fears were confirmed a few minutes later upon seeing the ashen-faced flight attendant. We'd been hijacked. It seems that not much has changed since then. It is better to strengthen security systems and give up some freedoms than it is to accept a high risk of more attacks. SAVI MULL Lucknow, India...
...rare occasion, a book, a movie or, in this case, an article confronts you with enough power to jar you out of your comfort zone. Living a relatively privileged life, it is easy to lose sight of basic freedoms we take for granted: to be able to shop at a market without fearing that a bomb will go off, to trust that our justice system will treat us fairly and to have confidence that our families and friends will be alive tomorrow. Although I disagreed with the decision to initiate war in Iraq, I can now imagine the consequences...
