...over to the other things The Waterfalls should be, to disentangle them from that web of municipal expectations and moral purposes and point people towards their lyrical purposelessness. I found myself thinking about another work by Eliasson, Beauty, a tiny triumph of makeshift lyricism. In a darkened room, electric light is aimed through a wall of mist to create the kind of dancing rainbow you can produce at home with a garden hose and a sunbeam. Depending on where in the room they're standing, everyone who sees the piece is seeing a different rainbow. What it proves, irresistibly...
...Despite being twice-trounced by Spain, Russia had been the tournament's other bright light, and it too played the high-tempo attacking game of the Spanish. A ghost of its CCCP past, this team announced that once again Russia was ready to play on the world soccer stage. Guus Hiddink's men, led by its striking partnership of Roman Pavlyuchenko and Andrei Arshavin, had the wannabe oligarchs in attendance contentedly puffing on their Havanas.

It may contain new information on how much plutonium it has produced for its weapons arsenal, or shed light on other aspects of its program. But unpacking North Korea's lies from any strands of truth is a lifetime's work...
...part, North Korea now wants the U.S., Japan and South Korea to make good on promises to build a light water reactor for energy generation. The U.S. promised this in 1994 - in the so-called agreed framework under President Clinton - and it has been held out as one of the incentives in the more recent six-party talks. But Washington has been deliberately coy about when the North might expect to actually get assistance on a peaceful nuclear project - "basically, the message has been, when hell freezes over," says Cossa. But with North Korea having been officially taken...
