| REAGAN WAS
A KEYNESIAN |
 THERE'S no question that
America's recovery from the
financial crisis has been disappointing.
In fact, I've
been arguing that the era
since 2007 is best viewed as a
'depression,' an extended period
of economic weakness and high. |

 | Wes Anderson tells
a tale of childhood
WES Anderson wants
you to live in his world
– at least while you´re
watching his movies.

filmmaker, he has offered a wide
variety of stories exploring a wide
range of topics: a heist in Bottle

| | Rei Kawakubo:
The Mona Lisa of fashion |
 TO appreciate the designs of
Rei Kawakubo, the woman
behind the label Comme des
Garcons, it helps to be a specialist
in fashion, or something
of a kook.
Let´s consider her latest collection,
shown in March in Paris. Not only were
the brightly coloured felt garments of a
fun-house scale, but they were also completely
flat. A dress had a front and a back,
and the two pieces were joined at the
sides. The simplicity was such that a
clever child, using a cookie cutter, tracing
paper and the photocopying services of
Kinko´s, could produce the basic pattern.
The wool felt was a good technical
choice for the floating two-dimensional
shapes, but the design, more than being
merely simple, seemed to disclaim design.
Reaction during the show was ... | | | Why there are not
wedding bells yet
for Kourtney and
Scott? |  KOURTNEY Kardashian and
Scott Disick have been playing
house for years, but the former
has no intention of making
things official. When
Kourtney, 33, Kim, 31, and Khloe, 27,
appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on
Wednesday, host Jimmy Kimmel, 44,
asked the pregnant reality star why there
aren´t any wedding bells in her and Scott´s
immediate future.
"Do you wanna be in my therapy session?"
Kourtney laughed. "First of all, I
have realised that I have major commitment
problems during this pregnancy. I´m
really claustrophobic, and all my issues —
and I have a lot of them — they all stem
from this thing. I can´t commit to anything
. . but I love Scott, and he is my partner."
Kourtney added "We are committed to
each other, we are... | | | Models wait for their
Bollywood breaks |
 IT is Bollywood calling for
models. The size of a role
and the budget of a movie
do not matter; they are just
looking for breaks in tinseltown,
which is already ruled by a host
of model-turned-actresses.
"Since Bollywood has changed completely
with more characteristic roles coming in,
small or big hardly matters. We are here to
perform; so if a small role has the potential of
leaving an impact on moviegoers, then why
not?" model Alesia Raut said.
True to her words, she accepted whatever
came her way - featuring in music videos Meri
beri ke ber and Ek aankh maro and doing a
cameo in Madhur Bhandarkar´s Fashion.
"We can´t do modelling for ever as it has a
short life. So exploring new avenues is always
a good option ... | |
