...Traoré (no relation to Aiseta Traoré) shows me the weathered school-exercise book in which he lists deaths. There were several diarrhea deaths in previous years--but none in 2008 or 2009. "Since zinc arrived, we have had no deaths from diarrhea," Traoré says. Cradling her 10-month-old son outside Traoré's dispensary, Maimouna Bakayogo, 32, says she panicked when her baby developed stomach pains, diarrhea and fever. "I was really afraid," she says.

The casual way that he endangers and deceives everyone in the film, or how he neglects his own son to an almost condemnable degree, is never answered for. Instead, “Fantastic Mr. Fox”—dramatically revised from Dahl’s book—ends ambiguously, with its characters unchanged and the danger yet present. More puzzling than it is substantial, it doesn?...
...highly unusual step, President Arroyo - a hard-working but unloved leader - is running for a congressional seat in her family's home province of Pampanga, which is being specially vacated by her son. Some suspect a dark plot to keep Arroyo in power under a new political system being pushed by her allies. For her part, Arroyo insists public service is "emblazoned in my DNA." The odds are she will win the seat...
