...Adieu to Alain Robbe-Grillet, 85, a founding father of the postwar nouveau roman movement who wrote the script for Alain Resnais' Last Year at Marienbad, that ultra-chic chess game of adultery and fabulous frocks. Robbe-Grillet then channel much of his energy into filmmaking, with such kinky mystifiers as Trans-Europ Express, The Man Who Lies and the cunningly titled Progressive Slidings of Pleasure.

...peace proposal promoted by France and Egypt remains on the table, but for now Hamas has said no to it. The Islamists doubt that Egypt can be an honest peace broker, as it is allied with Israel and the U.S. and is politically antagonistic to the Islamist movement. Hamas says it is refusing Israel's key demand for an international force to be deployed on the Gaza-Egypt border to prevent arms smuggling.
