Joseph Ratzinger and Carlo Maria Martini were once considered the two great heavyweights of the College of Cardinals. Ratzinger has, of course, gone on to become Benedict XVI while Martini has long since stepped down as Archbishop of Milan. But their sometimes clashing views on doctrine are more relevant than ever to the future of the Catholic Church...
...Filonov had an excellent command of naturalistic styles, obvious in portraits of his sisters Yevdokiya Glebova (1915) and Maria Filonova (1924). But he chose to develop his analytical art by experimenting in pure abstraction, as in his Formula series, which illustrated war, nature or the universe. Yet whichever style suited his purpose, Filonov always pursued it with an idiosyncratic intensity.

They really came through today, they fenced...
...internal spy network--is in full fester, keeping watch on artists and political dissidents, forcing many into obeisance or jail, silence or suicide. Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Mhe), a mousy Stasi captain, plants bugs in the home of chic playwright Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch) and his actress girlfriend Christa-Maria Sieland (Martina Gedeck). Wiesler and his coarser superiors have motives as complex as they are nasty: to please a party boss, to tease out scenarios of voyeuristic lust and, well, because they can. Wiesler has another reason to spy and pry: he's good at it. So when Dreyman decides...
