...Overexposed Rebels? I appreciated Andrew Marshall's and Nelly Sindayen's in-depth reporting on the New People's Army (N.P.A.) [Feb. 5], but I sometimes feel that the rebel group gets too much media attention. The insurgents are only a small fraction of the 90 million Filipinos. The members of the N.P.A. are as human as you and me, except with a different ideology. They just disagree with the government about how things should be run.

Most directors want a film's score to be subtle, the secret ingredient in movie emotions. Morricone wants his music to be as evident as the performances and the visuals.

Owen’s performance in “Closer” proved his ability to play aloof and distant characters, and his portrayal of Theo reinforces his command of that...
Beah was in a nearby town performing with a little dance-and-rap troupe in 1993 when his village was torched by rebel soldiers. After many months of privation and searching for his parents, he fell into the hands of the Sierra Leonean army. It offered protection for a while--and then conscription. Fueled by anti-rebel lectures, constant war movies, speed pills and "brown-brown" (cocaine mixed with gunpowder, which the soldiers sniffed), Beah became a killing machine. "That was your life," he says of his two years of endless fighting. "That's what you did unless you wanted...
