Every fan of spaghetti westerns knows Morricone, at least by ear. And every Metallica fan: the band has used his theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly to open its concerts for decades. On the new CD We All Love Ennio Morricone, his music is covered by artists from Bruce Springsteen to Yo-Yo Ma, Céline Dion to Quincy Jones. The Film Forum, Manhattan's top rep house, is mounting a three-week Morricone tribute. At 78, this preposterously prolific composer (the Internet Movie Database lists 505 film and TV scores) is the music...
...always, he has no shortage of work, with albums by Kanye West, Metallica and Linkin Park in various stages of readiness, but the project that's closest to his heart is a sixth and final album from his recordings with Johnny Cash.

Cars, shops and the Hyatt Regency Hotel have all been attacked in the past weeks. "There is no mechanism in place to create a new government," says Ohashi. "The Maoists could walk into Kathmandu...

Professors, civil servants, lawyers, even a gay rights group, have declared their allegiance to "the movement." But the movement itself is largely made up of teenage or twenty-something kids in Nirvana and Metallica T-shirts. "You cannot say this is the Maoists, or the parties," says Bodriganal as we watch another pitched battle a street away, where police and demonstrators hurl bricks at each other over a barricade of burning tires. "Doctors, engineers, pilots are all there. It's the people...
