...squalid corner of the immigrant-filled 10th arrondissement. He meets a beautiful woman, but she will see him only a few hours a week at her apartment in the tidier fifth arrondissement. Then people who have wronged him start having "accidents." The police blame Harry, and he begins to suspect that the woman he loves is not what she seems...
...politically the move will probably change little. Those who suspect the worst about the Administration's role in the Plame case are not likely to become any more motivated than they already were against Bush and the Republicans. On the right, the Republican base, which demanded mercy for Libby, will be placated. Had Bush not acted, they would have turned on him, weakening the last pocket of support he has.

...Bush's letter will do little to placate those who suspect a cover-up. On Capitol Hill investigations continue into the matter.

Britain remains on highest alert, with security forces vigilant for more potential attacks...

He's sort of Henry James without the cojones and definitely the most constipated sensibility the literary community has lately been in awe of. But I suspect that the director, Lajos Koltai, a Hungarian, has even more to do with the film's inertness. One does not imagine him to be particularly expert in the manners, morals and habits of the American Protestant patriciate of a half-century ago. One also imagines him being slightly afraid of his high...
