...Education, which has been cannily adapted from English journalist Lynn Barber's memoir by Nick Hornby and sensitively visualized by Danish director Lone Scherfig (Italian for Beginners), Mulligan is again in coming-of-age mode. In the pre-swinging London of 1961, Jenny is already a star of sorts: the smartest, most self-possessed student in her class. Her goal is to be accepted into Oxford; she wants it, and so does her rather overbearing father Jack (Alfred Molina) in the staid, lower-middle-class suburb of Twickenham. But Jenny knows that there's more to life than excelling...
Lisa Corva, 45, novelist and fashion journalist Aperitivo hour is sacred in Milan. I'd have a glass of Falanghina, a full-bodied white wine, at Fioraio Bianchi, tel: (39-02) 2901 4390, in the Brera district. It's a favorite with the fashion pack. Then I'd seek out some real Milanese cuisine at Trattoria della Pesa, tel: (39-02) 655 5741, in Garibaldi.

Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy assassinations. They recently instituted a major change, imposing a layer of editorial control on entries about living people. In the past, only articles on high-profile subjects like Barack Obama were protected from anonymous revisions. Under the new plan, people can freely alter Wikipedia articles on, say, their local officials or company...
...true Delhiites to really care about Delhi. Among the 14 million people living in the capital today, some 40% are migrants. "If you ask anyone in Delhi where they come from, they don't say Delhi, they name their native city or village," says Delhi-based journalist Manoj Joshi. "No one knows anyone else, so people behave very differently from how they would where they come from. They have no affiliation with the city." Gokhale agrees: "There are no real Delhi insiders anymore, and the Delhiite's identity is diluted and fractured. There's no sense of loyalty...
