This study isn't the first to come to that conclusion. A 2005 paper published in Urban Affairs Review by Lance Freeman, an assistant professor of urban planning at Columbia University, looked at a nationwide sample of neighborhoods between 1986 and 1989 and found that low-income residents tended to move out of gentrifying areas at essentially the same frequency they left other neighborhoods. The real force behind the changing face of a gentrifying community, Freeman concluded, isn't displacement but succession. When people move away as part of normal neighborhood turnover, the people who move in are generally more...

Though he fell out of favor with critics--and the public--in the 1960s, French filmmaker Jean Delannoy directed nearly 50 films during his career, including critical successes such as L'Eternel Retour and Dieu a Besoin des Hommes. In 1954 he was famously felled by a scathing review in Cahiers du Cinéma by critic (and later filmmaker) François Truffaut, who accused Delannoy of clinging to an antiquated and pedestrian style.

...diplomatic partners (China, Japan, South Korea and Russia) will have 45 days to review Pyongyang's declaration. Going forward, a key question remains: even if it destroys the reactor at Yongbyan, will the North say where it is keeping the nukes that it has already built? Will it reveal where the fabrication of its nuclear weapons took place, since it is clear it was not at Yongbyan? And what about the site of the October 2006 nuclear test? Will the U.S. and its partners insist that that be dismantled...
