| The Future We Want |
 TWENTY years ago, there was the
Earth Summit. Gathering in Rio
de Janeiro, world leaders agreed
on an ambitious blueprint for a
more secure future. They sought
to balance the imperatives of robust
economic growth and the needs of a
growing population against the ecological
necessity to ... |

PURPOSE |
 POLITICAL power is
always a double-edged
sword. The more of it you
amass, the more people
expect you to use it to do
big things, and, when you don't,
the more ineffectual you look.
That's the dilemma in which
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu of
Israel finds himself. He avoided

for so many years on

year, it´s 37 and counting.
Thirteen years before the first 3er the
company dabbled with the sport passenger
concept through the release of the
Neu Klasse—compact, nimble cars that
imbued the holistic driving experience
with something that had been largely
absent in many passenger vehicles: real,
sporting fun. The 3 Series was the logical
evolution from this basis, and the concept
became something even more
sporting and utilitarian, a seeming contradiction
in terms.
And for three and a half decades, the

gel for Brad Pitt |  BRAD Pitt, in Cannes to
promote his latest movie
Killing Them Softly, has
no intention of following
fiancee Angelina Jolie into
directing.
The 48-year-old, one of
Hollywood´s biggest stars, hit the
red carpet at the film´s world premiere
in Cannes recently, drawing
noisy crowds and the world´s media
to the glitzy ceremony.
As well as playing mob enforcer
Jackie Cogan in the violent but darkly
comic gangster movie, Pitt was
one of its main producers, a side of
the business he has become increasingly
involved in over the last six
years.
Asked whether he might add
directing to his career in movies, he
replied: "No, not a chance.

 AFTER the success of
Dabangg, Sonakshi
Sinha maintained a
low profile and stayed
away from media
glare. She says it was not
intentional as she was
working non-stop during
that period.
"It was not intentional.
I don´t think anything
that I do is
intentional... It is
just a coincidence
as some films got
delayed due to
whatever reasons,"
Sonakshi
told reporters,
adding that her
second film Rowdy Rathore will
be released before time.
"In fact, Rowdy Rathore is
releasing early... I have no complaints
that I was not
seen on
screen
for one-and-a half years as I was
busy shooting for all the films that
I signed, doing advertisements
and shows. So I have been working
