...fact, testimony presented in the case alleges that the wiretapping unit was set up at Mitterrand's request and that he selected some of the targets - notably journalist Edwy Plenel, who was ousted as managing editor of Le Monde last November, and Jean-Edern Hallier, a writer who had once threatened to reveal the existence of Mitterrand's daughter Mazarine. A judgment in the case is expected in the coming months. "After all the court has heard, Mitterrand's appearance was disastrous," says Marie-Amélie Lombard-Latune, who covers the trial for the daily Le Figaro. "Here...
...cinema are wonderfully creative and entertaining, but they lack the hard-edged, at times brutal messages, themes and humor of northern cinema culture." She says she'd love to make such films for directors like Denmark's Lars von Trier, Britain's Ken Loach or fellow Belgians (and brothers) Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne - a move that could extend the appeal of De France well beyond la France. - By Bruce Crumley/Paris Great French screen actors often sport formidable noses. Think Jean Gabin, Gérard Depardieu and Daniel Auteuil. Now 21-year-old actor Louis Garrel is nosing ahead...
Dali's most inspired decision was to reach back to late 19th century realism, to paint in a hyperdetailed style that could be more dreamlike than any of the fright-mask distortions of Picasso. Knowing very well how it would be received by militant modernists, he adopted Jean-Louis Ernest Meissonier, the last word in retrograde Academicism, as the model for his enameled surfaces and high-definition images.

...services company, says it broke no rules, but it's under investigation by German prosecutors and British regulators, and the company has put the traders involved on leave of absence. Last week European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet called for a "thorough" inquiry, while newspapers published internal memos that discussed strategies to "kill off" rivals - one scheme was reportedly dubbed "Dr. Evil" by the firm's staff, after the Austin Powers villain. Such language is typical. Bond trading "is like a blood sport," says Cari Lynn, who spent two years trading and has just written a book about...
...rarely giggled or shrieked; her voice suggested that she was either disdainful or incapable of severe highs and lows. She wasn't one to spit out rapid-fire dialogue, a vocal reticence that would have limited her roles even in a color-blind Hollywood. Saucy comedy, of the sort Jean Harlow personified, was out, as was the scalding, wiseacre melodrama, Barbara Stanwyck-style. Wong could flash a regal hauteur and, when called for, that sensuality. She could have played grand-dame roles of the sort essayed by Garbo - she certainly could match the Swede for fascination, and self-fascination...
