...other political-paranoia movies of the 70s - or with the crimes of EnRon and other big companies - will cue the viewer to expect corporate dirty tricks at the root of Arthur's frayed mental state. The two men will find ruthless adversaries both in the corporation's chief counsel (British actress Tilda Swinton, superbly on-pitch as always) and in their own firm's steely partner (Sydney Pollack, extending his streak of likably slimy plutocrats). The game is dangerous; it may be fatal...
...suspicions and resentment have flourished. Criticism by the British media of the way Portuguese police have handled the case has helped stoke hostility towards the McCanns in Portugal. Last month, the couple said they would sue the Portuguese newspaper Tal & Qual over its report alleging police believe they accidentally killed their daughter.

...thing we can do to work toward national reconciliation in Burma is for the Security Council to speak out formally," Mrs. Bush told TIME. "Will that work? I don't know.

Jamaican-born convert Lindsey Germaine was similarly central to the July 2005 London attacks. Even German officials have had previous experience with radical converts: in 2003, France arrested Christian Ganczarski - a German national who has boasted his ties with top al-Qaeda leaders, and was implicated in the 2002 bombing of a synagogue in Djerba, Tunisia - after Germany was forced...
...line from efficiency to cruelty. First, they killed the islanders' dogs. That is, they loaded the pets into sealed sheds, gassed them, and cremated them, according Prof. David Vine, a public anthropologist at American University in Washington who has studied the island's colonization by the U.S. Then the British loaded the inhabitants, known as Chagossians, onto ships and sent them off to Mauritius and the Seychelles, 1,200 miles to the west across the Indian Ocean, where they live to this day. A court case is under way in Britain seeking damages, and the government there has reportedly paid...
