...well-trained K.L.A. would veer into radicalism. K.L.A. officials such as Salihu, for instance, unabashedly say the only route to Balkan stability is a "greater Albania" that would include huge swaths of Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo. That ambition is terrifying to NATO politicians, who simply want to return Kosovars to their homeland...
...countryside. "We all have emptied our pockets because of the obligation we feel toward our ethnic Albanian brothers in Kosovo," he says. Indeed, just last month the farmer sank his entire life savings--$8--into an account to help collect food and supplies for Kosovo's refugees. In return, Bejadini was given a pistachio-colored receipt with no inscription of the collector's name or the purpose of the donation.

What you get in The Phantom Menace is a panoramic entertainment with several terrific set pieces of action, stalwart acting from the Brits (and some very raw work by the kids), a precise, luscious visual design, a multilevel climactic battle and a funeral pyre that echo Return of the Jedi, and a triumphal coda from the first Star Wars film (1977). All that, and a lot of talk...
