...Goes” video shoot. In many ways, Jack White is the prototypical Jarmusch protagonist: emotionally volatile, slightly anachronistic, and unwittingly seductive. Jack’s passionate, if rambling, lectures on the impossibility of true love in the modern age have graced the pages of several White Stripes album liner notes, and his intractable commitment to analog recording technology has proven the bane of many a record producer. Jarmusch plays into Jack’s atavistic tendencies by shooting the video in Super 8 stock, giving it the look and feel of one of Godard?...

That an Islamic hard-liner has inspired such pride among even secular, Westernized Iranians says everything about the political climate in Iran today and shows how Ahmadinejad has transformed himself from a lightly regarded ideologue to a national hero. In recent months the President has used the escalating standoff over Iran's nuclear program as a platform for broadening his appeal at home, framing the West as an enemy bent on weakening Iran by denying it legitimate access to technology. Indeed, many observers believe that Ahmadinejad is reacting to the masses' increasingly assertive mood as much as he is stoking...
