...Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva mounted a makeshift stage and, like a lead singer introducing his band, presented his ministers to the crowd of 7,000. Polite applause greeted the parade of bureaucrats - but then Lula called on his Culture Minister and the applause turned into a roar. For more than 30 years Gilberto Gil has been one of the two biggest pop stars in Brazil - a man whose music is as powerful and transporting as it is popular. Now, as the country's Minister of Culture, he is ready to work behind the scenes...
...first opposition party more than a decade ago, offers hope for a new type of leadership. When Kibaki was finally wheeled onto the stage in Uhuru Park - a car crash on the campaign trail has put the former economics professor temporarily in a wheelchair - the crowd let out a roar. "I promise not to let you down," he told them. "I will be your servant with all humility and gratitude." After a harsh appraisal of his predecessor, he spelled out his alternative.

In fans' minds, these excess tracks will inevitably be forgotten and 8 Mile will be remembered as an Eminem album (just as Saturday Night Fever is recalled as an album by the Bee Gees, even though they contributed only six songs). Inevitably...
...split second then accelerated noiselessly skyward, winking out some 100 meters above. Minutes later, another soared from the roiling river. Then some way downstream, a string of four burst into a bruised sky that was looking angrier by the moment. Each tiny eruption was greeted with a jubilant roar, like a kickboxing crowd hailing a series of withering knee strikes. The lights looked a bit like exploding flares, though there was no hiss or smoke, no sparkling arc back to earth. To a cynic like myself, they looked indisputably man-made. But to the believers?gathered in the tens...
