...disgusted with the scenes of degradation on Italian television that she made her own video to raise awareness of the problem, splicing together clips from shows. The closing shot, from a show called Joking Apart, shows a woman in a thong hung on a hook in a meat locker, next to the bloody carcasses. "Women come up to me and say, 'Listen, I've been watching television for a long time, but I didn't realize,'" she says, her eyes welling with tears. Zanardo says that some Italians have opted out of their society. "People like me are guilty...
...would be great if a presidential election could magically transport the small, impoverished Central American nation beyond the political crisis that has gripped it since the June 28 coup. But unless Zelaya is restored to office before next week's balloting, which looks extremely unlikely, the international community is poised to brand the vote illegitimate. Instead, the election will confirm that Honduras has slipped back into the political chicanery and military meddling that typified the 1970s and '80s.

It's for that reason, Lobo claims, that he's moved his conservative National Party to the center. The next government should "reflect more Christian humanism.

...talk. Haneke takes a very pragmatic view of his newfound popularity. "Awards are important for all directors because they improve your working conditions," he says. "You're only as good as your last film, so if you get prizes or large audiences, then you get more money for your next film." But success and money is unlikely to change his style. Throughout his career, Haneke hasn't attracted controversy so much as courted it and if his films are looked upon as bleak diatribes on the human condition, frankly, he doesn't care. He first turned stomachs in 1989 with...
