...backing from Iran - may have been pressured by the Lebanese group to claim the attack. Officials say Hizballah wants to kill the trust between Abbas and the Israelis. Abbas didn?t accuse Hizballah directly, but said ?there is a third party that is interested in sabotaging this period of quiet.? Israeli politicians have thus far restricted themselves to urging the Palestinians to track down those responsible. (Late Saturday, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz accused Syria of involvement; Damascus denied the charge.) If that restraint holds, perhaps the spirit of co-operation still has a chance to survive...
...performed in on Broadway. Cannily, she let her character be pushed around--literally, by Cary Grant--while radiating a patrician glow even Cate Blanchett couldn't match. James Stewart is the working-class fella who briefly obscures the Grant-Hepburn limelight, and George Cukor directs with his usual quiet mastery. Those lusciously long takes remind viewers that star quality, not editing, is the essence of classic Hollywood cinema. The DVD has some cool extras, including Hepburn's 1993 documentary self-portrait All About Me and a fine study of the Cukor touch by TIME's Richard Schickel. A rare treat...

So if you want to live like God in France, as the popular German expression about great wining and dining goes, there's no need...
Buswell embraced the fluctuations of the music, using the violin as a vehicle for his subtle artistic interpretation. Joining Buswell were his wife, cellist Carol Ou, and pianist Meng-Chieh Liu. In the Mendelssohn trio, the performers conveyed both the grand statements and the quiet nuances of the music, and their conversational demeanor on stage showed a simple joy of playing together. Liu’s quiet, thoughtful opening of the second movement of the Beethoven Sonata was another highlight. Throughout the recital, all three musicians demonstrated their mastery of both the musical concepts and the instrumental challenges...
