...surely among the most daring, original and accomplished filmmakers in the competition, or anywhere else: Spain's Pedro Almodóvar, with his Penélope Cruz romantic drama Broken Embraces, and Palestine's Elia Suleiman, whose endearing, deadpan The Time That Remains tells, in sour or poignant vignettes, the history of his family and his sundered country. Resnais, whose Wild Grass shows the legendary 86-year-old director at the top of his puckishly anarchic form, won a Life Achievement Award - which is Palme-speak for Thanks for Not Dying Quite Yet. After 60 history-making years in film...
...LPGA isn't marketing players the way they should be marketed," says Sadekar. "The door is wide open for us, and the opportunities are endless." By promising extra income and exposure to a broader audience, she's shooting to hire more LPGA pros as the tour struggles in a sour economy and crowded sports landscape. She points to the lack of buzz surrounding the world's top-ranked women's golfer, Lorena Ochoa, as an example of the LPGA's ineptitude. "With every one of our players, everyone asks, What kind of bag is that? What kind of shirt...
...recent years, East European nations have dominated Eurovision - Russia won last year, Serbia the year before, and Ukraine finished second both times.

With space a premium in Malé, most residents live with their extended families, some even sleeping in shifts; there's no privacy at home, but even less compunction to leave. In the vacuum, drugs have taken hold. An estimated 30,000 Maldivian youths are addicts, almost 10% of the country's population. "There is nothing to do here," says Ali Adib, one of the directors of Journey...
...written on the meaning of Judaism for Christianity," says Cardinal William Levada, his successor as Vatican doctrinal chief. "And he has also shown a fundamental sympathy that not even written words can have." But the Williamson affair was only the most recent episode in a series of gaffes and sour notes by the Pope. He seems simply to have forgotten Jewish concerns on a range of decisions regarding liturgy, sainthood and historical interpretation. In the case of SSPX, there is a distinct possibility that he knew full well he might offend Jews but went ahead anyway...
