...stunning popularity of SATC both on HBO and DVD (and, more recently, on TBS), this movie could be the one that bucks the trend. TIME.com turned to a crack panel of experts to gauge how this movie will fare among mainstream audiences - and whether it will reach a key benchmark of success, $25 million on its opening weekend. All five said yes, and here are their reasons...
...bleached airport, Bush was greeted with the Gulf's signature mix of garish oil wealth and tinpot amateurism. A large retinue of royalty watched as a band played an off-key version of the U.S. national anthem. Bush walked through the cavernous air terminal to his motorcade and drove to the monarch's "farm" at al Janadriyah. Through the enormous gates and along alleys of dying shrubs and trees fed by miles of futile drip hoses, he made his way to the King's "villa," a marble-clad, poured concrete palace. Through a foyer with a statue of a cheetah...

Dung and others were accused of embezzling millions of dollars, most of which was gambled away on European football matches, and spent on prostitutes and luxury cars, according to government investigators...
...key is not demand, but supply. Agricultural production in places such as India has not kept up with the incredible social changes under way in the country's cities and towns. The green revolution of three decades ago helped keep the country from starvation, but since then productivity growth in Indian agriculture has hardly moved. Dan Toole, the South Asia regional director for the United Nations Children's Fund, says India is suffering from "a very serious neglect of agriculture in terms of investment." India, he says, "is perhaps the solution but is also part of the problem." What...
