...Abdul Jabbar Khan, of the Bhopal Gas Peedith Mahila Udyog Sanghathan, a group for female victims, says the disaster poisoned Bhopal's soul. "The shame of Bhopal," he says, "is that there's no humanity here today. People began to spend their lives in queues, for ration cards, for hospital, for compensation. We became a city of victims, a city of beggars, with nobody caring for anyone else." Psychiatrist Santosh Tandon, 45, said the "disempowering" effect of the catastrophe, which left a whole city unable to provide for itself, was overwhelming. "The gas took away Bhopal's spirit," he says...
...achieve this, the book's first two sections examine questions of body, soul and mind, drawing from an array of Greek mythology, psychology and astrology before arriving at the juicy bits.

In these fascinating acts of cinematic aggression, which either skirt hard-core or plunge right in, Breillat strips her heroines to the bleeding soul. Anatomy of Hell, Breillat's latest, is notorious for the objects--a rake, a lipstick case, a tampon--used as sexual implements. Across the Channel, Michael Winterbottom (Jude, Welcome to Sarajevo) tries to span the chasm separating serious cinema from hard-core with his new 9 Songs. Here...
...orgiastic Greek god of wine. As Cox says, "What [readers] didn't expect were the smarty bits; they just expected the unzipped stuff, not the smarty pants themselves. Pop, but also classic, high and low." To achieve this, the book's first two sections examine questions of body, soul and mind, drawing from an array of Greek mythology, psychology and astrology before arriving at the juicy bits.
