RESIGNED. Stanislaw Wielgus, 67, recently appointed Archbishop of Warsaw; in the wake of disclosures that he collaborated with the Sluzba Bezpieczenstwa, Poland's communist-era secret police; at a ceremony intended to mark his elevation; in Warsaw. Other clergy in the Polish church, a key backer of the pro-democracy Solidarity movement, have been linked to the S.B., but Wielgus' connection is especially painful in Warsaw, where in 1984 the S.B. infamously murdered Jerzy Popieluszko, a highly popular, anticommunist priest. With the publication of documents suggesting Wielgus had informed on clerics for years, the prelate, who maintained he never spied...

Walking through "Light Sensitive" at the Ian Potter Centre, one could be forgiven for thinking that the era of the defining image has passed.

The pieces jointly dominated the top of page one; I didn't miss that phantom sixth column (whose absence...
...tempting to read Borat's unmolested season on Lebanese screens as a sign of progress of the post-Syrian era towards a more tolerant, liberal society. But it could just as likely be the high water mark in a Weimar-like interregnum before the forces of reaction and intolerance reassert themselves. Outside of the theaters, Lebanese society is in the midst of a sense of humor failure. When a Lebanese television comedy show poked fun at Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah last year, his followers rioted, cutting off the road from Beirut airport. And with Hizballah firmly ensconced in central Beirut...
