...polls, there is still some doubt as to whether he will run for a second four-year term. He might throw his weight behind his Minister for National Intergration, Ciro Gomes. Polls taken last month showed the Mayor of Sao Paulo, the centrist Jose Serra, beating Lula in a multi-candidate matchup. However, Serra is a notriously poor campaigner and he has been mayor for only a year. The governor of Sao Paulo state, Geraldo Alckmin, is another potential contender but he is not yet well known outside of his state. At this point, however, the Brazilian electorate appears...

But there is great clarity in his direction, shrewd observation in the screenplay (which he wrote with Robert Moresco and rafts of terrific acting-most notably by Matt Dillon as a racist cop who becomes the reluctant hero of the piece-in this smart, intelligently observed film...
...that the meeting was “maybe one of the last times we can ask students before the architects finalize their plans in six to eight weeks.” Construction starts in the spring for occupancy in the fall, he added. The floor plan included a large multi-purpose room, the coffee bar that currently exists on the fourth floor, several music practice rooms and many rooms for student organizations. Almost all students present at the meeting seemed to think that the fourth floor needed to be opened up as a social space rather than split up into...
