...Horn of Africa and in parts of Southern Africa. Earlier this month James Morris, the head of the United Nations World Food Program (wfp), warned that more funding for food aid was needed in Sudan or peace II there could unravel. Oxfam complained in May that less than one-seventh of the funds the United Nations and aid groups need for Congo had been given. As the G-8 leaders prepare to gather again, skeptics are asking if their resolutions really matter on the ground. No deal, however substantial, could reasonably have been expected to solve the problems of Africa...
BUSTA RHYMES THE BIG BANG With his ferocious bark and split-timed delivery, Rhymes has always been two-thirds of a great rapper. The missing ingredient--a single deep thought--has been elusive, although on his seventh album he at least gives it a shot. The lyrics ("See the facts that I'm trying to strive and capitalize/ And start to maxima-mize and bu-build and enter-terprise") are passable, but what lingers is energetic drop-bys from Stevie Wonder and the late Rick James (in a final cameo) and window-rattling production from...
...languages set the medium?s standard for excellence. To be cinematically literate - "cinemate," to borrow a term Time proposed in a 1963 cover story heralding the first New York Film Festival - one had to be able to discuss the hidden narrative meanings and formal innovations of pictures like The Seventh Seal and Last Year at Marienbad.

They could still feel superior but no longer had to read subtitles...
...just his third NBA season, Wade, 24, has carried the Heat on his sculpted shoulders to its first-ever NBA title (Michael didn't win one until his seventh season), taking over a series that was one part gripping basketball, two parts circus. There was Dallas coach Avery Johnson sequestering the Mavericks in Fort Lauderdale after blowing a 2-0 lead in Miami - no South Beach for you, Dirk Nowitzki. And Cuban conducting sweaty interviews from his treadmill while badmouthing the refs - some deserved - which earned him a $250,000 fine. For good measure, Nowitzki kicked a ball into...
...funny, a little removed from life, even as they evolved effortlessly into the shrewdest operators. They communicated with each other in code. Most of all, I felt, they really knew how to be with each other, and that was the real Eton thing." Some boys now attending are the seventh unbroken generation of their family's male line; 40% of this year's intake have an Old Etonian father, uncle or grandfather. The most searing moment in Fraser's book is a testament to the underside of the intense human relationships the school can foster: a sinister, semi-erotic punishment...
