...scandal comes just as Colombia has launched a campaign to drum up some $12 billion of support from the U.S. and Europe to finance a sequel to Plan Colombia, a controversial strategy to fight leftist rebels and drug trafficking. Under the first Plan Colombia, Bogota received more than $4.5 billion in the past six years from the United States in mostly military aid. An additional $1 billion came from donations from European nations which supported social programs and alternative development schemes to wean farmers off growing drug crops like coca. But support for that aid in the Democrat-dominated...

With Soundtrack and its 2006 sequel, Rampage, which follows a rapping Marine home to Miami and the hip-hop studios of New York City, Gittoes cracked the creative jackpot, with films that could just as easily play on VH1 as in the current documentary-obsessed contemporary art world. (Three years on, curators can't get enough of Soundtrack, which, from March 9, screens as part of the third Auckland Triennial, called "Turbulence.")

That's the level of activity the industry might have expected after a bumper year like 2003 when Bridget Jones joined forces with Troy and Alexander to help generate $2.2 billion...
...billed as one of Harvard senior center Brian Cusworth’s last hurrahs. It also could have been the sequel to a dominant performance by Dartmouth point guard Leon Pattman last weekend. But it came as a surprise when, with thirteen minutes left in Friday’s Ivy League tilt against the Big Green, freshman guard Jeremy Lin took charge of the Crimson offense. With Dartmouth leading 45-41, the 6’2 combo guard reeled off ten straight points, exhibiting versatility, poise, and increasingly astute judgment on the court during his prolific stretch of play...
