More change might flow from a landmark trial underway in Istanbul. The case pits the state against a shadowy ultra-right-wing network allegedly led by retired generals. Prosecutors accuse the group of staging bomb attacks and assassinations in a bid to overthrow the ruling Justice and Development Party and create a pretext for military rule. Turkey is no stranger to coups - the military has stepped in to push the government this way or that three times in as many decades. As recently as 2007, a veiled threat prompted early elections...
...trial is the first time a coup plot has landed high-ranking military officials in court. The 40 soldiers now being held include a retired general and colonel believed to have cofounded JITEM, a secretive military-intelligence unit which many Kurds suspect is responsible for most of the dirty work in the southeast, including the extrajudicial killings of dozens of Kurdish activists.

The fortune cookie wisdom of my grade school years, for instance, dictated that children weaned...
...title character is a sewer-roving satyr-beast who terrorizes the streets of Tokyo in broad daylight—first by simply disturbing the peace, then by killing dozens with a stockpile of antique hand grenades from the Second World War. Arrested, Merde (Denis Lavant) is put on trial, defended by a French lawyer who shares his disfigurements and his inimitable language. Opening with a totally hilarious, totally confounding tracking shot of the creature wordlessly moving along a Tokyo sidewalk, stealing money and flowers to devour, the film only improves.
