...accommodate the concerns of Washington, Tokyo and Seoul. But the other, and probably more powerful, influence in Beijing is the international department of the Chinese Communist Party, which tends to be pro-Pyongyang. Those two factions often struggle to influence the decisions of the senior leadership in Beijing, whose "red lines" seem to be a "constantly moving target," as John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., puts...
...huddled in the makeshift basement that served as their classroom. Deeply shaken, all four opted to study in Egypt after the war under a religious sponsorship. They returned at 18 in hijabs - a sharp break from their families' traditions. Their transformation was hardly unique. Aida Begic, 33, a director whose first feature film Snow has won numerous awards, says her teen years in besieged Sarajevo shook her to the core. "Every minute you wonder what will happen after you die," she says. "You cannot postpone those questions until old age." After years of dabbling in Buddhism and Judaism...
...Sarajevo after six years' detention in Guantánamo, they were shunned by those who feared they would spread militant Islam. "They have no opportunity to get jobs," says human-rights activist Dizdarevic.

Indeed, if a TV show from the '60s or '70s had a premise elementary enough to be pictured on a lunch-box lid, chances are it's recently been made into a movie...
...course, adorable works for kittens and the Jonas Brothers, but for a Brooklyn-based indie-rock band that's toured with Radiohead and whose album is being heavily hyped as a breakthrough, it's a mixed blessing. On the plus side, Grizzly Bear's songs are never less than pretty, and occasionally they are breathtaking. "Two Weeks" opens with what sounds like a child banging on a piano in search of a tune until the whole band mews, "Oh-wa-oh-wa-oooooooo," lifting a melody out of the muck and into the stratosphere, where lead singer Ed Droste asks...
