...There's friction in the doll community. Number 1 (Christopher Plummer) is a cautious, shriveled type, who rules the gang from atop a throne in the remains of a former church and prefers to hide from the mechanical beasts. Given that the dolls are about eight inches tall and the mechanical beasts appear to be the size of dinosaurs or giant arachnids, this seems rational enough.

In a country where layoffs are all but forbidden, more than 500 journalists are expected to lose their jobs in September. Yet the demand for a different type of reporting remains striking. Last fall, I attended a festival of international journalism organized by the magazine Internazionale, a weekly compilation of foreign news sources. Attendees overflowed the auditoriums, then sat in the piazzas to listen to the proceedings over loudspeakers. In an era of plunging circulation, sales of Internazionale grew 25% last year.
