Paul Krugman: Defecits and Deceit (NYT)
OP-ED COLUMNIST Deficits and Deceit Published: March 4, 2005 Four years ago, Alan Greenspan urged Congress to cut taxes, asserting that the federal government was in imminent danger of paying off too much debt. ( Read More... ) And the consequence of the failure of the starve-the-beast theory is a looming fiscal crisis - Mr. Greenspan isn't wrong about that. The middle class won't give up programs that are essential to its financial security; the right won't give up tax cuts that it sold on false pretenses. The only question now is when foreign investors, who have financed our deficits so far, will decide to pull the plug. E-mail: krugman@nytimes.com |

Arakimentari
USA 2004 Director Travis Klose Producers Jason Fried, Regis Trigano Cinematographer Brian Burgoyne Editor Masako Tsumura Music DJ Krush 76 minutes Lovingly described by his models and colleagues as a monster or a dirty uncle, Nobuyoshi Araki is one of the world?s most notoriously controversial photographers. He is also one of the most talented and prolific. Arakimentari follows the hyperactive little man as he works and plays in Tokyo?s busy, flashy metropolis. Featuring interviews with long-time admirer Bjork, as well as with Araki himself, the documentary dissects the elements of this bondage fan's enormous charm. Confounding the difference between art and pornography, Araki's jaw-dropping photographs mark the decline of conservative Japanese society. Eye-candy sequences of his best work flash across the screen, exposing the quality of his work, and the range of his subject matter. Screened at the 2004 Slamdance Film Festival and the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, Arakimentari also won the Best Audience Award at the Brooklyn International Film Festival. |

I am proud to present another brilliant analysis of the Middle East situation, and wish to acknowledge that the best analyst I know is Uri Avnery.
