...little miracle of the movie is that this plays out at four times the length without giving you a headache. The film finds its own pace, and it keeps its personality. It doesn't try to be ruder or kinkier, just bigger and better. It follows a rule Brooks laid down at the beginning of the series: Don't be afraid to show emotion. Audience, that goes for you too when you watch Homer and Marge's worst ever marital crisis. Sob away unabashedly...
...That sentiment seems to be shared by many of the region's nouveaux riches, who have flocked to build summer mansions along the region's lakes. Indeed, with basic infrastructure failing to even come close to keeping pace with development, the garbage produced by the holiday-makers may pose more of a threat to the environment than does the Mayak nuclear waste. Kabriov drives me to one of the illegal trash dumps that have grown up in the thick trees around Lake Uvil-dui, where a stream of waste runs from the water's edge deep into the forest...

"An 18-month tour has zero, zero, none, nada, squat, nothing, no validity, OK?" he said. "I want to make sure you got that...
Possibly. Radical clerics have declared jihad on the government in retaliation for the mosque siege. Suicide attacks are gathering pace in the North-West Frontier Province, the gateway to Afghanistan. A July 18 bombing there killed 17 Pakistani soldiers. And even religious groups once aligned with the government are turning against Musharraf. Machine-gun fire directed at the President's plane on July 6 marked the first assassination attempt on Musharraf's life in several years...
