...most significant break from the past is this: neoconservative views have become mainstream in Japan. Shintaro Ishihara, who was once considered a fringe ultra-nationalist, is now the wildly popular governor of Tokyo. And with the socialist and communist parties effectively defunct, there are far more conservatives in parliament than ever before. The boiler room of the neocon network is the "Young Diet Members' Group for Establishing Security Framework for the New Century." This multiparty coalition of about 270 Diet members was co-founded in 2001 by young, influential lawmakers, including former defense chief Shigeru Ishiba and Seiji Maehara...
...Danish romantic comedy Italian for Beginners. And Denmark's movie industry is still riding high on a wave that turned its films into festival staples. Von Trier and Vinterberg may have moved on to bigger, brighter things, but the aesthetic they devised and inspired has gone mainstream, turning up in everything from Danish television shows to bare-bones thrillers like Open Water. As Hollywood players scramble to blow our minds (and blow up their budgets), the dictates of Dogme remind us that cinema isn't just about thrills, spills and special effects - it's about telling a story and telling...
...curricular reform that, if successful, would likely be imitated elsewhere.

Bruce Boyer, a "private and corporate image consultant," believes it is--then there are rules to be obeyed. Mainstream men's fashion is the business of defining those rules, marketing them and playing subtle little games with them. In the boardroom or the law office, such rules are not flouted, never mind broken. They are nudged gently. The fold of a handkerchief in the breast pocket of a suit jacket, the width...
...Protestants, of course, are only part of the problem. For the Thatcher-FitzGerald compromise to survive at all, it will need to win the support of Northern Ireland's mainstream Catholic nationalists. If Thatcher must satisfy Protestants that no sellout is under way, she must also convince Catholics that their allegiance to an Irish identity and to Dublin has somehow been recognized and accepted. --By Frederick Painton.
