...were here first!” “You’re going to have to move.” We apologized, said we were trapped, bowed our heads. Not five minutes after we got ensnared in the portable toilets pen, did we hear a woman’s voice pierce the general hubbub of the crowd, screaming, “Makay! Makay! Has anyone seen my baby? Answer your mama, Makay!” Next to me, pushing through the crowd, a red-lipsticked brown face emerged, streaming with tears, eyes panicked, sound coming from her in short...
...predictable. But there were a few surprises, even if some may have been born of necessity rather than any sort of maverick cinematic spirit. Best Supporting Actress went not to national treasure Winslet, but to Penélope Cruz for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Whether or not that was only because Winslet wasn't even up for supporting actress - and instead competed against herself for best actress - we'll never know.

...striking a “healthy balance between art and activism,” according to Matthews K. Mmopi ’11, the business manager of Kuumba. This year, Kuumba collaborated with the Brattleboro Area Hospice in Vermont, raised over $15 thousand for charity, and established a pen pal program with children in South Africa.

New Delhi backs those that want to stay in India, despite the legal claim of Bangladesh, and Dhaka does likewise. There are 1,696 acres (690 hectares) of these "adverse possessions," where India and Bangladesh effectively occupy each other's territory. That means 21 miles (34.5 km) of border that...
...anyone interested in Chinese history. Just don't expect to find too much history there. The town in China's central Hunan province has a museum, library and ersatz 1960s communal farm all dedicated to the founder of the People's Republic. His family home, cattle barn, shed, cattle pen and the family tomb have all been carefully preserved for the millions of tourists, many of them student groups on school-sanctioned "red tours," who visit Shaoshan each year. Newly built shrines - resembling the sort that might have been demolished as feudal relics in Mao's day - surround a central...
