...alive. When he visits Capitol Hill, his movement through the halls is split-timed. His lobbyists feed him tips so he knows, for instance, that Kentucky's Mitch McConnell has a thing for Burmese dissident Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner who inspired U2's song Walk On. The rest is intuitive. Bono arrives with no security, takes gifts (a leather-bound volume of Seamus Heaney for Patrick Leahy, a framed copy of the Marshall Plan speech for Colin Powell) to suit his host's taste. He poses for every staff picture, and his thank-you notes...
...director four times as many chances to let furtive glances and plaintive words collide--which they do, to subtly devastating effect. These days dreamy romances are hard to find, especially of the smoky, smoldering Wong Kar-wai brand. 2046 is the kind of picture an intelligent viewer can walk up to and ask, "Got a light...

As for the music, one listen to Gone, built...
...plan was to make the IOP a home for all politically related groups on this campus. We would give them meeting space in our building, access to the copier, the code to the student office, and the freedom to walk through the IOP’s halls with a sense of ownership, a real sense of belonging. This basic first step would recast the IOP as the hub of a campus-wide political community—a central resource through which student groups could carry out their distinct missions. And before long, the IOP would become a true center...
