...have been easy. But that's the way it looked to a group of a group of Syrian and Palestinian writers whom I've been training to be journalists here in Damascus, when I recently held a screening of All the President's Men - the Watergate movie starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman. By secretive Syrian standards, the conditions under which the crusading journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein worked seem impossibly ideal. The fact that there was a direct phone number to the White House switchboard filled my students with awe. So did the fact that dialing 411 actually...
...late: like all the most ridiculous celebrity stories the Big B v. SRK brouhaha has taken on a life of its own. In a wonderful illustration of globalization's reach, even U.S. satirist Stephen Colbert has helped fuel the dispute by featuring Bachchan and Khan - "the Indian Robert Redford and Brad Pitt only crank up the handsome and rip the knob off" - in his television show's celebrity feuds segment.

Such images remind us that reality is sometimes best expressed by what is absent or left behind. The exhibition is not called light sensitive for nothing (this also happens to be the nickname given to the NGV's departments of photography and works-on-paper...
...handsome young lawyer (Robert Redford) uses his charm and telegenicity to challenge an aging Senate incumbent. Welcome to the new politics. Jeremy Larner, who won an Oscar for his screenplay, had been Eugene McCarthy's chief speechwriter in the 1968 campaign. His insider's take was a cautionary tale of such subtlety that it sailed over the heads of some viewers--like Dan Quayle, who said the movie inspired him to be a politician...
