...election in Hesse comes after a protracted period of splits and dissent in the party nationally and at state level. In Hesse, the party tried to unseat the incumbent CDU state premier Roland Koch by forming a minority government with the Greens that also depended on the tacit support of die Linken - "the Left" - an alliance of former East German communists and former members of the SPD.

...Over in the East Village, Mondo Kim's was New York's premier video rental outlet; its trove of 55,000 items included all manner of ancient, foreign or just plain weird movies in DVD or, bless 'em, VHS format. Netflix, a more convenient but much less comprehensive service, killed off owner Youngman Kim's rental business, and with it a unique source for voracious cinephile.
