Next time you hear someone complain they're too busy to be sick, mention the director Mira Nair. When we meet, she's launching a film studio in Bombay, preparing to shoot three movies in India, England and possibly Afghanistan, working on a Broadway musical and creating a film workshop-cum-garden with a view of Lake Victoria near Kampala, in Uganda?all in addition to being a long-distance mother and wife to her family in New York City. Meanwhile, she's been up all night in her Bombay hotel with viral flu and a temperature...
...coming. Scraping together $1.2 million from investors in India, France, Germany and Italy, she returned to what she knew best?family and India?and filmed Monsoon Wedding in New Delhi in the summer of 2000. Working with a handheld camera, she captured four scenes a day, completing the entire shoot in just one month?despite losing five days' worth of film to an airport X-ray machine. Giddily enjoyable but unsparing in its treatment of darker subjects like infidelity and pedophilia, Monsoon Wedding was the budget hit of 2001, topping the foreign-film box office in the U.S. and taking...
...with Nepal. On Aug. 31 the Iraqi extremist group Ansar al-Sunna announced that it had killed 12 Nepalese migrant workers kidnapped outside Ramadi 11 days earlier.

...roaming around his Prairie Chapel ranch house in boots, slacks and a linen shirt, naming the native grasses, spotting the herons--admiring the butterflies, for heaven's sake. This is to be a day of image softening, and another magazine's crew is waiting to do a family photo shoot. Bush has remade this Texas landscape to suit him: put in a lake and stocked it, planted the oaks and laid out the house so the winds would sweep through it. That's the way of his world: something to be shaped, by work and will. Whatever his handlers...
...believes in living by the Ten Commandments. Asked to name them, he said, "I couldn't rip them off right now. I'm sure I live them on a daily basis." When pressed, he named five before paraphrasing the rest: "THOU SHALT BARBECUE ON AN HOURLY BASIS! THOU SHALL SHOOT DEER DIRECTLY IN THE VITALS TO CAUSE A QUICK DEATH!" As far as the lack of Republican artists, Nuge countered with "JAMES WOODS IS A REPUBLICAN! BRUCE WILLIS! DIE HARD 2, THAT'S SOME ART!" he said. "BO DEREK IS A REPUBLICAN. SHE'S ART!" While that may be true...
