...million people died during Rwanda's 1994 genocidal ethnic struggle, and there has been little justice for the victims so far. But after more than two years, the first hearings began Thursday in Arusha at the U.N. International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. First to stand before the tribunal is Jean-Paul Akayesu, the former Hutu mayor of the Rwandan village of Taba. He is charged with inciting Hutu militias in 1994 to the mass murder of Tutsis. Akayesu's lawyer is expected to seek a delay, saying he hasn't had adequate time to prepare a defense. TIME's Nairobi...
What Lelouch does instead is divide Valjean in two, a father and son (both played by a wonderfully battered Jean-Paul Belmondo, whose son Paul plays the character in a transitional passage). Then he provides him with adventures that analogize, rather than slavishly imitate, those of his literary model. This figure, called Henri Fortin, is throughout aware of his resemblance to Hugo's original. He sees movie versions of the story, and people keep telling him that his physical strength, moral fortitude and frequent bad luck remind them of Valjean. He wouldn't know.

...toot. Even designers who usually make well-cut, wearable clothes, like Donna Karan, get the fever. In her DKNY show, the city girl went western, featuring dubious slinky pants with a phony chaps look, crinoline-shaped frontier skirts and hats that were at least seven gallons. In Paris, Jean-Paul Gaultier, perennial idol of the fashion press, indulged in one of his toughest tart looks ever. Each of his models had one eye blackened, and sullen stares seemed to be a decree. Some of them wore cyberspace-punk bodysuits printed with computer graphics. Still, draped over them were practical coats...
...long-lost notebook detailing French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre's army experiences during World War II was published in Paris. The work, titled Notebook from the Phony War, describes the renowned existentialist's boredom and exasperation with army life and contains affectionate references to "my dear Beaver"-that is, his mistress and close companion, the writer Simone de Beauvoir. Scholars hailed the book as the most interesting of Sartre's wartime writings...
