One century after his death, the plays written by Norway's Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) remain as topical and provocative as ever. Theaters all over the world continue to stage The Pillars of Society, A Doll's House, Ghosts, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Hedda Gabler and The Wild Duck. In the USA and Russia, in France or China, it is virtually impossible to take a course in world literature without taking a long hard look at the works of Henrik Ibsen, the father of modern drama. It is said t...

The story started with an exceedingly modest contribution of $20,000 to improve the new-born Cambodian Silk Fore in 2002. An encouraging on-the-spot survey of market possibilities in Europe for hand-woven Cambodian silk products persuaded International Trade Commission (ITC) in 2003 to put $100,000 in an Export-led Poverty Reduction Programme. The funding enabled 20 rural weavers in the poor village of Tanorn, 80 kilometers from the capital, Phnom Penh, to increase production and marketing of...

"We didn't open to edify the neighborhood about what the place used to be but I must admit the local community is very excited about what we're doing, including the city of St. Paul," [Jim Davidson] said.

Jannok's music, which she herself has a hard time trying to define, is a mix of jazz, pop, and joik. Joik, a singing style connected to the Sami, was for a long time considered heathen, and many Sami stopped joiking for fear of being cut off from society or being viewed as uncultivated. "I didn't learn to joik at home, for example. That's something that disappeared with my grandmother. I didn't really understand the difference between joiking and singing until I was in my early teens," Jannok...

Documentary films have in recent years achieved unprecedented glory and success in the United States. Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" not only was named best picture at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, but also made big bucks at the box office. "Bowling for Columbine" attracted a large audience to theatres nationwide, and crystallized a lively debate about violence in schools. Similarly, the documentary "Super Size Me" was yet another U.S. documentary that became a global hit: That orgy of on...

About half a year earlier, [Silvio Berlusconi] had boasted that Parma, Italy was selected as host of the EU's new food authority, rather than archrival Helsinki, because of the superior quality of Italian food. The Italian leader complained that in order to win support from other European countries, he had to first "endure" Finnish food. French President Jacques Chirac, presumably incited by the wit of his Italian counterpart, added fuel to the fire a few weeks later by suggesting that the on...
