...point of breeding elitism, it is granted that there exists a danger of giving gifted children a false sense of societal superiority at the expense of regular students. However, it seems far more inimical for a gifted child to be restrained by a slower academic pace and for non-gifted students to be measured unfavorably against those with a higher measured capacity for learning. Additionally, local communities stand to benefit from cultivating gifted talent since many former students return and contribute directly to the community that educated them...
...What the heck is Bollywood? Well, it's not your uncle's Satyajit Ray movies?stately pace, unknown actors, Ravi Shankar sitar music. Bollywood is a star-driven cosmos?actresses with names like Dimple Kapadia, Preity Zinta and Karisma Kapoor; hunks of every age, from stalwart Amitabh Bachchan, 59, to giga-charmer Shahrukh Khan, 36, to suave, elaborately muscled Hrithik Roshan, 28 (all three graced the 2001 blockbuster Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham). Bollywood operates under the vulture eyes of a voracious entertainment press and under the shadow of organized crime. Two years ago, Hrithik's father, director Rakesh Roshan...
...booting Jean-Marie Messier was seen scrambling for emergency funding to service j19 billion in borrowings. Could this spell the end of what the Germans call the Aktienkultur, or equity culture?

And European investors may actually be more disillusioned, and could prove...
Haute-couture week used to be fashion's time-out. The pace was leisurely, leaving lots of opportunities for the ladies who lunch to get plenty to eat. The clothes were elegant, the kind of things one wears to the Paris Ritz, darling. The salons were small and intimate, the better to see the craftsmanship. But the gradual rotation of the old guard (out last season, Yves Saint Laurent; out this season, Oscar de la Renta at the house of Pierre Balmain) to the new (first John Galliano at Christian Dior, most recently Julien Macdonald at Givenchy) has transformed...
...leads to patricide, a rape, and a stabbing through a tepee cover (Polonius-like). Plus this is the film that answers the question What do Inuit women wear under their parkas? You will find out during a furtive, furious love scene lighted by licks of fire. Of course, the pace of Kunuk's epic is less Vin Diesel fueled than dogsled deliberate. Which is only to say that Atanarjuat is not like every other film this summer. It's not like any other film, period. --By Richard Corliss
