WALL-E, Pixar's lonely little post-apocalyptic robot, is quickly collecting a lot of friends. Critics have applauded the animated film all the way to a 97% Fresh rating on the movie-review website Rotten Tomatoes - the year's best so far. Audiences have spent $128 million at the box office in WALL-E's first 10 days of release, placing the film seventh so far in 2008, and it is likely to climb closer to the heroes of May - Indiana Jones and Iron Man - as glowing word-of-mouth continues to drive ticket sales.

The dead, who numbered 41, included a brigadier general, R.D. Mehta, who had started his post just five months ago and a foreign service officer, V.V. Rao, whose two-year tour of duty in Kabul was about to end. The bombing is likely to have regional ramifications, both for India's relations with the neighborhood and those of every other country supporting Afghan President Hamid Karzai...
...feel that my life is like a wind, blowing quickly and changing direction often," he says. "I have no plan for my future, and I don't want one. I never think about my future." Twenty-four-year-old Mao's comments are not reflective of some melancholic post-teen pouting - his feelings of resentment and despair are commonplace among the young adults of Changsha...
