...several remarkable things about this austere and masterly movie - which may remind cinephiles of the calm clarity and seeming simplicity of the French master, Robert Bresson - is that Bégaudeau is playing a version of himself, in a screenplay of his own devising that is in turn based on a novel that he also wrote. It is hard to think of another film more tightly autobiographical than this one. It's even harder to think of other films that build so gripping a narrative out of a string of comparatively minor and disparate incidents. For its first few minutes...
...that would be used to keep prices within an agreed target range. "I don't think Opec should continue to determine - or apparently not determine - what everyone pays for their oil," says Nick Butler, chairman of Energy Studies at Cambridge University's Judge Business School. A key objective, adds Robert Mabro, president of Oxford University's Institute for Energy Studies, would be to negate the impact of financial speculators on oil markets.

Iuliano ’83—who supervises the police department for the University—is responsible both for fielding complaints about police conduct and for satisfactorily addressing community safety concerns. Matory said he thinks this represents a “conflict-of-interest” and that...
...course, Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates are heavyweights too, and State, Defense, Justice and Treasury are all Cabinet jobs that have kept their clout. (Bush's latest Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, is apparently the new leader of the free world.) But the "team of rivals" analogies only go so far because Cabinets are no longer teams. And Cabinet Secretaries are increasingly chosen to send messages to interest groups and ethnic groups...
