Jones himself fits into the nostalgic that characterizes the entire film. He is an embodiment of lost innocence, a figure whom Wooley depicts as boyish even as his skin grows leathery and the wrinkles on his face deepen. Jones’ home is the former residence of A.A. Milne, and he radiates childish joy as he wanders the gardens, thinking about the residents of Pooh Corner. Wooley loves these moments of vulnerability, and Gregory shows Jones’ emotional neediness well: it’s easy to see why Jones always gets a second chance. Although Considene appears somewhat stiff...
Enjoying a respite from the relentless scrutiny of his rocky tenure at Harvard’s helm, University President Lawrence H. Summers—in the midst of a week-long sojourn to South Asia—offered the local media a glimpse of his plans to deepen ties with India in his last months in office.

...needed a Mandela or a Gandhi more than Iraq. Coming on three years since the fall of Saddam, the country is deeply and violently divided along sectarian lines. This week's bombings are a terrible reminder that without a unifying, healing political figure, Iraq's problems will only deepen, disrupting the stability of the Middle East and complicating any White House plans for military disengagement. And Iraqi political observers warn that the longer they are poorly ruled by ?small, ordinary men,? the more their fellow countrymen will long for the return of a Saddam-like tough guy.
