...Today, much of this tension stems from India's rule over Muslim-dominated Kashmir in the face of strident Pakistani opposition. The war on terror and the 1998-2004 rule of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on a Hindu nationalist agenda - which also stoked a Hindu pogrom in Gujarat in 2002 in which 2,000 Muslims died - has lent further legitimacy to India's lurking anti-Muslim prejudice. In 2003, just before twin bomb blasts in August that killed more than 50, TIME spoke to "Umar," a SIMI operative, or Ansar ("guide"), who said his men were carrying...
From the ethereal melodies to the beats layered upon beats, The Eraser is full of Radiohead music--dark, dystopian, oddly beautiful--minus the other members of Radiohead. (It was composed mostly on a laptop.) In spots, the band is missed. The Clock creates some grinding tension but never figures out how to release it, while Black Swan eddies around a chorus ("This is f___ed up, f___ed up") that hardly mines new emotional territory.

Just as important, Runway isn't afraid to be fun. Like the couture world itself, it plays with the tension between high- and lowbrow, combining earnest discussions of artistic intent with shamelessly over-the-top challenges.

And the contestants know that performance is part of their business. A contestant in the Season 3 premiere lays out her "four cs" theory of success: "courage, creativity, cash and celebrity...
...tension in the family worsened. Einstein and Mileva exchanged letters arguing about both money and vacation timing, and at the end of June a curt postcard came from Hans Albert in response to his father's request that he be available on a particular date to go on their proposed summer vacation: Dear Papa, You should contact Mama about such things, because I'm not the only one to decide here. But if you're so unfriendly to her, I don't want to go with you either. We have plans for a nice stay that I'd only give...
...There was tension even before the Pope touched down in Spain. Zapatero let it be known that he would not be attending Sunday's open-air mass that was the crowning moment of the Pope's visit. Zapatero's admirers will see it as a sign that the atheist leader is no hypocrite. But on the flight from Rome, when papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls was asked about the absence, he pointed out that on John Paul's visits, even Communist leaders Fidel Castro and Daniel Ortega attended Catholic masses out of respect for the Pope. Not necessarily a knockout...
