However, the Japanese company has will be venturing into the world of film and television sometime in the near future. Currently, it has greenlighted a standalone Super Mario film which is now in the works, and even Shuntaro Furukawa, the president of Nintendo himself, promised that animation is something that they are “looking into,” and not just for the Super Mario franchise.

PERAHIA: For three years I couldn’t go to the piano, and I need music like I need to breathe. And in that period I needed Bach. There is a certain spirituality, a certain consolation that one gets. I think spirituality is a very important aspect of music, and it’s not necessarily tied to a strong religious belief. I remember speaking to Benjamin Britten about it.

EMERSON: You draw a picture of Nehru as much more hardheaded than popularly believed. PERKOVICH: He was. He made so many speeches where he said, in seemingly categorical terms, we’re not going to build the bomb. On the other hand, he was knowingly working with Bhabha, who was developing a capability that could produce a bomb. Nehru was hardheaded and shrewd and did not want to forestall an option they might want down the road....

Blair has transformed Labour into the party of Middle Britain. He has tackled the unions, unshackled the party from its old-style socialist dogma and blended in a communitarian agenda that resembles Bill Clinton’s evocation of the importance of family and community. Clinging to the ideological center, he has drawn middle-class support away from the Tories without losing the party’s bedrock, working-class voters. And he knows how to relate to business....

“Rand Paul and Mike Lee, what do I say about those two?” Feal asked during an interview on CNN’s New Day on Thursday morning. “They’re hypocrites at best,” he asserted. “No, no, not only are they hypocrites, they’re bottom-feeders, they’re opportunists.” Feal pointed out that Paul and Lee, who claimed they were blocking the widely supported bipartisan measure because they are fiscally conservative and are concerned about the government spending additional funds over a long term timeframe, previously voted for President Donald Trump’s tax cuts....

But now proponents of the bill have a new challenge: Getting people to sign up for it. There were about 400,000 people involved in the 9/11 community in the days following the attacks. Nearly 100,000 of those people were first responders but the remaining 300,000 were survivors: People who ran from the towers or lived and worked in the community while the fires still burned. Both first responders and survivors were exposed to the same mass of toxins that circulated in the air after the twin towers fell and both were assured by the Environmental Protection Agency at the time that the air was safe to breathe....

If one thing’s for sure, the Thief series definitely has the potential to make the translation successfully, if only for its rich cinematic moments....

The meeting with Clinton was perhaps the least eventful in the history of Russian-American summits. The two leaders agreed to speed up previously negotiated cuts in nuclear weapons. They signed a “partnership for economic progress” to promote trade. And they reveled in each other’s jocular company–two beefy showmen who love to talk. Yet behind his good-natured grin, Yeltsin got across a veiled but serious message to his host: stay out of my back-yard, and I’ll stay out of yours....

According to authorities, a professor was driving with his 11-year-old son at around 10 AM on Friday, May 8, “when two unknown vehicles, possibly pickup trucks, approached him and flagged him down.” The professor, who was not identified due to safety concerns, assumed that the cars needed assistance and stopped.

Thanks to the media that haven’t yet buckled under government pressure, the submariners haven’t slipped silently into the deep–as they would have in an earlier era.

Author Khaled Hosseini, director Marc Forster and actor Khalid Abdalla spoke with NEWSWEEK’s Lorraine Ali about their hopes for the film, their love of the book and their fear of Hollywood. Ali: This is truly a global film—the director is Swiss-American, the novelist Afghan-American and the lead actor Egyptian-British. And it was shot in China. Hosseini: Yes, all the scripts were in Chinese, Farsi and English. Abdalla: The first day we were shooting this busy market scene, and that was crazy enough: donkeys, cars, pedestrians....
