This outlet, though, may be in danger. Cuba is restless; increasingly, just a flick of the hips and a ready melody aren't enough. And under the surface, Cuba is already changing--it's closer than ever to the U.S. but also closer than ever to losing its cultural patrimony. President-elect Barack Obama is hoping that small moves will help open up Cuba from the inside. During the campaign, he stopped short of calling for an end to the embargo but pledged to make it easier for Cuban Americans to travel and send money to Cuba...
...bringing the same creative philosophy which had inspired his sculptures to film collages, assembled from varied and seemingly incongruous source materials. His 1958 debut, titled simply “A Movie”, is perhaps his most famous film. The work is a collage inter-cutting various scenes of restless, frustrated, even comically absurd mobility—men on horses, novelty bicycles, surfboards, water-skis and racecars—clips of peep-show footage, air disasters, tight-rope walkers, and myriad other images, set to the sounds of Ottorino Respighi’s “The Pines of Rome...

...given Thursday night--the start of the weekend in Syria--Z Bar, the rooftop nightclub at the Omayad Hotel, is packed. An instant hit with Damascus' rich and restless when it opened last summer, Z Bar provides not only a place to dance on tables Beirut-style but also a commanding view of the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. "Top of Z Town" is its Pep Le Pew--esque slogan, but everyone knows who's really on top in this town. From a hill above Z Bar, the glass faade of Bashar Assad's presidential palace looks...
