...more Danish directors will get their own taste of freedom when they start shooting their Dogme films later this year. What accounts for Dogme's staying power? After all, it wasn't the first wave of cinematic minimalism: the Italian neorealists in the 1940s, like Vittorio De Sica and Roberto Rossellini, insisted on shooting on location, often using nonprofessional actors and live sound; so, too, did the auteurs of the French New Wave in the 1960s (from which Dogme borrows some ideas). And at first, nobody but its creators took Dogme seriously - it took three years for a Dogme film...
...batters' equivalent of 300 victories is 3,000 hits, Carew's entry that same afternoon making a total of 16 names on this roster of saints. Since Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates died in a plane crash almost 13 years ago at 38, the approximate measure of a great hitter has become precise. Clemente had 3,000 hits exactly.

...formed a network that now has about 400 members. Its annual conference today attracts roughly 1,000 participants. Proponents hold positions at some of the nation's most prestigious legal institutions, including Stanford and George-town.

"The battle is fiercer here than elsewhere," says Kennedy, who jokingly refers to himself and the others as "the unholy triumvirate." Less a coherent philosophy than an angle of inquiry, C.L.S. has roots in "legal...
Private citizens also rushed to the rescue. Nowhere was the effort more frantic than in Miami and surrounding Dade County, home to an estimated 125,000 Colombian immigrants. Within hours after news of the disaster reached the city, the local Colombian consul general, Roberto García Archila, was swamped with aid offers. Less than 24 hours after the eruption, an Avianca Boeing 727 left Miami International Airport laden with privately donated medical supplies. Meanwhile, Spanish-speaking ham-radio operators in Miami were relaying messages from Colombia to the Florida consulate, where hundreds of anxious Colombians kept a vigil, hoping...
...what was happening. He yelled, 'Get out! Get out!' The two boys escaped by running into the forest. The father was swept away. He disappeared." But another cousin, Lucia Volgang, remains optimistic he will be found. "We are still hoping for a miracle." --By Jay D. Palmer. Reported by Roberto Suro/Rome
