...Nazis' Final Solution - Defiance, The Reader, Good (which prompted TIME critic Richard Schickel to call for a moratorium), The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Adam Resurrected - are in theaters. A sixth, Valkyrie with Tom Cruise, is a Holo-cousin: it details a 1944 plot by German officers to kill Hitler. Taylor notes that since the early 1990s, when Steven Spielberg was preparing his Oscar-winning Schindler's List, there have been 170 Holocaust movies. (The Internet Movie Database lists 429 titles on the subject.) It has become not just a topic but a genre, one that, at its most...
...connected whether we like it or not, and our collective energies can change things for the better, while our collective indifference can kill us.

"We are trying to create that rebel mind, where you think on your own," says Kung'u. "If the young don't have an income by 2012, they will still be a threat - they will have...
...forced more than 300,000 people to flee their homes. (The Dec. 27, 2007 vote saw President Mwai Kibaki edge out his rival, Raila Odinga, in balloting that was seen as rigged by both sides.) Damning evidence has emerged that Kenyan politicians plotted much of the violence that killed 1,200 people last January. This was done by offering cash to poor kids out in the countryside to kill or burn down houses of the politicians' enemies. It had been done before. Kung'u and a small band of colleagues think their leaders will do the same thing next time...
