...human rights. The government holds free and fair elections, and has established a good track record of progress on important social and economic indicators over the past two decades. It is also establishing an Independent Anti-Corruption Commission, an Ombudsman and an Independent Human Rights Commission. Progress is slow but perceptible. The government has not stood idle on the law-and-order front. It launched a massive army-civilian police action called Operation Clean Heart to curb terrorism and economic crimes. It is reforming the police force and passed the Speedy Trial Act for quick dispensation of justice. Your article...
...good thing that most of the characters in Tsai Ming-liang's films seem to be compulsive smokers. The acclaimed Taiwan-based director is the master of the long, slow reveal that keeps camera movement to an absolute minimum. Just as frozen are his actors, who sit or stand or lie with that familiar art-house look of longing in their eyes, which often resembles nothing so much as a slight case of constipation.

There is Low-Carb Dieting for Dummies as well as The Complete Idiot's Guide to Low-Carb Meals. It was only a matter of time before a book came along to compare the low-carb diet books.

...dodge the taxi cabs hurtling down Charing Cross Road, hop over the thin, gray puddles and slip through the doors of London's National Portrait Gallery - a slow, steady stream of women shaking the rain from our umbrellas and asking, with just a hint of excitement, for directions to Room 41. Deep in the belly of the gallery, beyond the Lucian Freuds and the Cecil Beatons, Room 41 sits hushed and darkened. I join 11 visitors curled cross-legged on the floor, gazing at a 1-m-wide plasma screen where a shirtless blond man lies sleeping: David Beckham...
