...post-Napoleonic France of 1832, the movie centers on the adventures of Angelo (Olivier Martinez), a young Italian army officer exiled from his country as a rebel against the Austrian empire. No safety is to be found in France, however, as he is first glimpsed fleeing from secret agents of the Austrian government. He rides posthaste through the south of France, which is being ravaged by an epidemic of cholera, and eventually meets up with some of his comrades and fellow exiles. On the way, he takes refuge in the house of a young French woman (Juliette Binoche), who, with...
...State Department official said that the administration tacitly approved the 1994 arms transfers because of the Bosnians' desperate military situation. "President Clinton's policy of virtually inviting Iran into Europe could have disastrous results for America," said Gingrich.

Sony co-founder Akio Morita and nationalist Shintaro Ishihara wrote a best seller arguing that Japan...
...Japan's secret formula does not work anymore. Neither its economy nor its society enjoys a special dispensation from misery. When President Clinton arrives in Tokyo this week, he will find a country that has undergone five years of economic gloom, whose society is experiencing unprecedented strain and whose political system is fracturing. In a recent poll covering 10,000 adults, 54% of the respondents said they felt Japan was becoming worse off.
