At the same time, an unprecedented free and fair election campaign was being fought in South Africa. On April 27, while the genocide in Rwanda raged, the incomparable Nelson Mandela was elected the first democratic president of South Africa.
History had contrived to fashion one of Africas worst tragedies and one of its greatest triumphs all at the same moment. While the genocide confirmed for many the utter hopelessness of the continent, Mr. Mandelas victory and his own unique qualities of leadership suggested a shining new era was yet possible. As it happens, over the past half century a remarkable number of Canadians have been involved in both these countries, for better...

Out of sight, but not forgotten
After months of negotiations, the state of Utah and New York-based art foundation Dia struck an deal to protect and preserve the now-submerged Spiral Jetty and allow Dia to continue as the leaseholder on the state land under it. The best part is that Dia formed a collaborative oversight group, including Westminster College’s Great Salt Lake Institute and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, to guide the future of Robert Smithson’s iconic earth art piece. A public meeting is planned to get citizen input on the Spiral Jetty’s future.

There is a game every season that Geno Auriemma does not like to play. In fact, he doesnt like to think about it and wishes it would just go away. It makes him nervous, sours his mood and absolutely ruins his day.
Its the game the No. 3 Huskies play Saturday at Villanova. Auriemma grew up in nearby Norristown.
Ill have a chance to see some of my friends for a short time, but if it was a different team we were playing it would be a lot more fun, Auriemma said.

Roman Polanski might have well have said, “[Screw 'em] if they can’t take a joke,” about his film adaptation of Yasmina Reza’s play “Carnage” because joke, after all, is what the film is — a short (not even 80 minutes long) little joke on upper middle-class civility that purports to show us what happens when four parents get together in a New York apartment to thrash out an incident between their kids in the park.
One kid hit another kid with a branch and knocked out some teeth.
Not trivial, to be sure. No parent wants a kid risking life, limb and dentition every time he plays with his friends. Clearly apologies are called for at least;...

Overwrought headlines (like the one above) are the bread and butter of tabloid journalism, and accuracy comes second, editors of two of Britains most outrageous ragstold an ethics panel there on Wednesday. And while the editors of the Daily Star and sister paper Daily Express conceded theyd overstepped ethical bounds, their understated explanations of some of their most grievously misleading front pages didnt quite justify the practice of falsely reporting celebrity deaths, but they were entertaining.
Which is fitting, sinceDaily Star editor Dawn Neesom explained that the goal of her paper was to entertain more than inform. To be entertaining doesnt necessarily mean that you can just...

After the end-of-the-year wave of prestige pictures and award-seasons hopefuls, the popcorn-movie machine is ramping back up. Case in point: Contraband, the new heist flick starring Mark Wahlberg as a reformed smuggler pulled back into the underworld to bail out his hoodlum brother-in-law. The film, a remake of the 2008 Icelandic thriller Reykjavik-Rotterdam, is receiving mixed and mostly moderate reviews.
Times film critic Betsy Sharkey deems Contraband a very gritty bit of greased action [that] does a decent job of shaking the sluggish out of January. Wahlberg succeeds in making lethal look neighborly and necessary, Sharkey says, and he pulls off the role of both mans man and ladies...

A Union City high school teacher has been arrested for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old female student, the latest Bay Area educator to face sexual misconduct allegations.
Peter Kolesnikov, a 38-year-old art teacher at James Logan High School, had a relationship with the student from March to November, said Union City police Cmdr. Ben Horner.
The relationship began with kissing, then eventually led to sexual encounters in private residences and motels in Alameda County, Horner said Friday.
Kolesnikov was arrested Thursday as he was on his way to meet with the girl, who is now 17. He is being held at Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of statutory rape,...
