...opponents in Brownsville, on the eastern end of the Texas-Mexico border, they plan a symbolic retirement party for Chertoff this week complete with piñatas and mariachi music. Even an 11th-hour announcement by the Bush Administration promising $50 million in mitigation projects to address environmental and cultural issues in sensitive areas, including tribal lands, has not impressed opponents and is likely to be reviewed by the incoming Administration...
...Aronofsky has been one of the few American directors whose movies upset the complacency of indie cinema. Pi, Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain were demanding and rewarding in various ways: the first wacko, the second gritty, the third sumptuously romantic, and all marvelously dense with imagery.

...mini-republics that the U.S.S.R. released like so many Tootsie Rolls from a piñata in the 1990s have not exactly turbocharged the Central Asian economy. And while Pakistan may have seemed like a nifty idea around the time they cut the ribbon, it's been plagued by troubles pretty much ever since - including the, uh, secession of Bangladesh...
