...budget film filled with little-known actors that has absolutely no appeal to ticket-buying, popcorn-munching 18-to-24-year-old males - and it's not even showing in cinemas, instead going straight to TV. Could it possibly be a hit? "I've given up thinking about results," Minghella told TIME recently. "It's just all about the process. As long as I'm working with good people and we enjoy working together, that's the result...
...narcotics list. That's not likely to happen. The big question is whether the U.N. will adopt the INCB proposal - which would essentially leave Bolivia and Peru in breach of international law if they continue to allow coca's non-narcotic use and commercialization. That in turn could result in the U.N. calling for commercial or other embargoes against them...
...Fillon and his allies had a hard time denying that the center right took a thumping locally; some 20% of voters told pollsters they had cast ballots expressly to demonstrate opposition to Sarkozy and his cabinet's actions. The result was a victorious surge by France's left-of-center parties, led by the previously floundering Socialists.

Indeed, new polls show 58% wanting Sarkozy to adopt the more sober, distant profile traditional of French Presidents. At the same time, however, 67% said they want him to continue applying the reform platform he was elected on prompting the right-wing daily...
Indeed, several international studies, including one published by Harvard University, say that raw coca is loaded with protein, calcium, iron and a range of vitamins. As a result, Morales has encouraged a local industry, with an eye to exporting, that is turning coca into everything from flour to toothpaste, shampoo and curative lotions. (Morales sent Fidel Castro a coca cake for his 80th birthday last year.) Even as the INCB was issuing its report, the Bolivian government was reaffirming its desire to increase Bolivia's legal coca crop limit from 12,000 hectares (30,000 acres) to 20,000 hectares...
