...Lula would not have "made it to where he is if he were a retard, as so many still try to portray him," writes Nahum Sirotsky, a veteran Brazilian journalist and former aide to Brazilian ambassadors in the United States and Israel. Which is a way of saying that the PT man understands the reality of international capital flows. Any domestic program that results in a default or an onerous restructuring of the debt will put him in an extremely difficult position to pursue the progressive policies on which he has campaigned...

"I haven't tried to make political capital," says Berkoff. "I feel deeply for the victims and wanted to portray that." While Berkoff uses verse to emphasize the epic magnitude of the disaster, French playwright Michel Vinaver goes one step further. His homage, The 11th September 2001, which will premiere at Barcelona's National Theater of Catalonia in October, couples expressions heard on and around the day itself with...
