...India's commercial-film factories have a creaky tradition of taking the premises of Hollywood blockbusters?Ghost, Reservoir Dogs and Species?and twisting them into virtually interchangeable, all-singing-all-dancing musicals. In the past, Shakespeare might have been just another vein of material. But in Maqbool, Bhardwaj has jettisoned Bollywood conventions to make a film that has claustrophobia, menace, drama, a fresh romantic twist and that rarest of Bollywood accomplishments, genuine tragedy...
...regrettable decision, but one necessary to keep the fragile art and books safe—the Villa frequently funds top-notch restorations of the canvases on its walls. These paintings one day will be important for a researcher and may wind up in a museum.

Kostunica's message is not quite as militant, but it's in the same vein. He complains bitterly about the "anti-Serb" Hague Tribunal and, in an interview with Time, suggested he had no intention of sending four indictees now in Serbia for trial there. "The Hague looks like a game to me. I will have these cases treated by our courts." He talks of Serbia's foreign interests lying not only...
