...fewer doing something about it? Woody M. Collins Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S. time's story was a concise and accurate picture of the world's most lethal conflict since World War II. For more than a century, Congo has endured slavery, poverty and destruction. And the end is not in sight. Along with humanitarian aid, there must be diplomatic reconciliation between Congo's east and west, scholarships for young Congolese people to study in Europe and the U.S., and firm agreements among Congo's neighboring nations to keep their armies away. As the story noted, elections will be nearly impossible...
Bokhowa was especially savvy. He was too old to be a courier; he was more an analyst than an operator. He had highly placed friends in the country's community of Islamic activists.

But what he really seems to have mastered is the art of remaining highly visible, yet at some level out of sight. His thoughts and longings are not chronicled in the daily papers; instead, he remains a figurehead who holds the country together in part by projecting an image of constancy, changeless even as he guides his nation through a series of dramatic, modernizing changes...
...latest film is based on The Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri's novel of migration and displacement, which is itself a seesaw between two great cities, New York and Calcutta. Appropriately the film will premiere simultaneously in both cities in November, with a sophisticated marketing strategy and no horse carriages in sight. For my next film, Gangsta M.D., Hollywood will, for the first time, pay good money to buy rights from Bollywood, transplanting to Harlem the beloved story of a Bombay gangster, Munnabhai, who pretends to be a doctor when his parents visit...
