...reporters a respite while covering Iraq. Aparisim Ghosh I never leave home without The Best of Daler Mehndi, a compilation of uptempo bhangra standards by India's best-selling pop act. It's Punjabi dance music at its best. I've made Mehndi fans out of cab drivers in Jenin, Gaza, Amman and Baghdad. Alex Perry Perhaps the best number was: Why Can't We Be Friends? by War, which photographer Bob Nickelsberg and I (and our taxi driver) sang along with (rather tunelessly) as we finally headed out of Baghdad for Amman.

...Nazareth and Beirut, Lebanon's capital - were all Palestinian, members of a house divided against itself. Hassan's film, which screened last week in Cairo and will be shown this week in Zurich and Barcelona, explores the aftermath of fighting between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian guerrillas in the Jenin refugee camp a year ago. It is particularly important to Hassan, who - despite the restrictions imposed on his movement in the Arab world by his Israeli citizenship - desperately wants his message to be heard throughout the Middle East, including Israel. That's why Hassan made sure his film would...
