...only across the border that the jihadis are finding shelter and succor. The relative ease with which small Taliban units operate in its old stomping grounds these days is a reminder that the new government in Kabul has not managed to wean away some of the Taliban's core supporters - a point underscored by the fact that Mullah Omar and most of the movement's senior leadership have never been captured.

Might their pride have blinded them to Enron's rotten core? Katzenbach doesn...
...wind. After finishing Shadow Kill, Adoor and I - along with his longtime colleague and friend P.K. Nair, former director of India's National Film Archive - adjourn to Adoor's house for lunch. Over dessert in the director's spacious office Nair gently points out that one of the core images in Shadow Kill - wind rustling through fields of lush grass - may be a cinematic cliché. Adoor does not take this as constructive criticism...
