...slide show on the looming disaster of climate change, the movie is like its front man: both committed and muted, hoping to enlighten as much as arouse. And since the film was shown out of competition, it could not capture the Palme d'Or and bask in the resulting limelight. Poor Gore: again the noble nonwinner. There were no Molotov cocktails in the handful of Cannes fiction films with political undertones. Not that it was hard to see which side they were on - virtually all art-house movies are left-wing - but the aesthetic approach was either too conventional...

...town troublemaker and sets out to bring the moves back to Bomont and romance to the Reverend’s daughter Ariel (Sarah Jayne Blackmore).

We get enough slack for everything else, and as much as it might hurt, it’s best to keep our sports out of the limelight until we give reason to the contrary. I’d love for us and our draft brethren to matter, but we don’t. In fact, I shouldn’t even be writing this column...

...distance from such measures, leaving them to spd Cabinet members instead. "The Chancellor should put her foot down for painful reforms," says Thierse. Maybe, but judging by her performance so far, that's just not her style. Merkel appears to prefer working behind the scenes to basking in the limelight. She has brought a collegial atmosphere to the Chancellery that is proving wildly popular. "Suddenly a woman in black enters the stage without any pomp or circumstance and talks in a quite straightforward manner - analytically," says Gerd Langguth, a political scientist at Bonn University. "People like that." Cabinet meetings...
