...first political film, but his anti-Berlusconi sentiments run so deep that for the first time he has left no ambiguity on - or off - the screen about where he stands. In February 2002, less than a year after the former Prime Minister's final victory, Moretti took the stage at a center-left rally in Rome and launched a broadside against the opposition leaders standing next to him, criticizing their inability to contend with Berlusconi. A political movement built up around the director that circumvented the major opposition parties. Rallies sprang up in the form of giant human chains...
...double-scissors lock to applaud one of the speeches, which is interrupted by the announcement of a hockey or baseball score - Boston Bruins 3, Chicago White Sox 1 - voiced here by Bob Sheppard, the ageless (95) voice of the New York Yankees.

...spite of how relatively obscure their rebel cause is on the world stage, the attacks by Sri Lanka's Liberation Tamil Tigers of Eelam (L.T.T.E) always seem to draw lots of attention. Such was the case Thursday when a squadron of speedboat suicide bombers rammed into a Sri Lankan navy troop carrier convoy off the country's northern coast, killing 17 sailors. The Sri Lankan government claimed to kill more than 50 Tamil Tigers in return, but the deadly operation had already reminded the world that the Tigers are the fathers of modern-day suicide bombing - not only masters...
