...Bolivians also point out that the medical report on which FIFA based its decision is not exactly solid science. Rather than demonstrating that high altitude poses a threat to players, according to Bolivian news reports on the report, it admits there is little real health risk and that altitude acclimatization is so personal that generalizations can't be made...
Given the opposition of domestic groups like Hizballah, are you strong enough to move ahead without a solid national consensus? I know that there are risks involved. But what are we expected to do? To respond and comply with the pressure and to accept that impunity will prevail and the state will disintegrate? Is this a democracy? If it is a democracy, I have a majority in the parliament.

...caper is sharp and smart and was certainly worthy of a top slot. Gray's cop drama rarely reached the emotional boiling point, but the Tarantino and Fincher films, if not nearly the best of the directors' work, paraded the filmmaking brio, the narrative twists and drive, that mark solid updates of the classic Hollywood style.

Major U.S. studios may take the hint, and be more reluctant to submit films for the competition...

People who do that are the ones who amass billions, drive the economy and bankroll politicians. They don't need to know...
...They do, and a Holy Father only invokes his own infallibility when he is laying out incontrovertible Church doctrine. Still, the Pope is not expected to err, and the faithful are not accustomed to hearing him publicly correct his own missteps. And certainly Benedict XVI, a man of rock-solid (some might say stubborn) convictions, would be the last person you would expect to waffle or backtrack on his key pronouncements. Which is why perhaps the most troubling pattern of his reign is Benedict's notable tendency to do just that...
