• Kasparov's Next Game: Democracy In Russia in 2008

  As the polls close in Russia and the votes for anyone but Putin get swept under the carpet like chad-challenged ballots in Florida, Russian chess master Garry Kasparov makes moves that he hopes will result in an end game that preserves democracy in the former Soviet Union.

• My Heart Weeps For Haiti

  In the fracas that is Christmas, the anniversary of one of the Caribbean's most important historical events often goes widely unreported and unnoticed. 200 years ago, Haitian slaves rose up, and in one of the bloodiest coups in Caribbean history, wrested control of Haiti from the white oligarchy that the French Revolution supposedly equalised with the ordinary man.

Music

• Al Stewart & Laurence Juber Live

  Laurence joined us for dinner and Al on stage for an evening of incredible acoustic music. But I have to admit, perhaps the highlight of the evening (save the Marcassin Chardonnay) was minutes before Al and Laurence took the stage when Laurence was warming up and played perhaps the most amazing version of Layla I've ever heard.

• Haunting "Rabbit Proof" Impresses In Every Way

  This story's strength is not in it's angry portrayal of injustice, but in the gritty determination of the girls not to become victims to the racist policies of invaders and usurpers. We find definitive resistance and ultimately the victory of the human heart.

  The last two movies I have seen on DVD were both sports movies. And that's about all they had in common.
