...self-declared "buffer zones" around Palestinian towns - a position rejected by the Palestinians who insist on full withdrawal as a precondition for any cease-fire. Then there's the matter of Arafat: Sharon warned this week that he believes Powell's planned meeting with the Palestinian leader is a "tragic mistake," and that he has no intention of seeking any agreements with Arafat himself. Bush administration hawks may share Sharon's loathing of Arafat, but Washington has come to accept that there's no way of bypassing the Palestinian leader in pursuit of a truce...
...Kong is Chinese cinema's incandescent crucible. The good news is that the festival was a smorgasbord of experimental work from China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea and the Philippines, much of it shot in video format, with an ultra-tight focus on youth and their contradictory (and sometimes tragic) need to belong in society and simultaneously forge individual identities.

...Sketches of My Culture, Cornel West makes a traditionally elitist discourse palatable to the mass public with his radically-democratic prophetic voice. Rather than being praised for his overarching civic concern, West unfairly became the target of insult. The tragic irony is that faculty, students and colleagues hold West with utmost respect for his intellectual stature, compassionate character and brilliant insights. West empowers diverse and marginalized communities that traditionally are not privy to the rhetoric reserved for those within ivory towers. West ends his song with a challenge for professors, among others, to be on the front line...
