Dečja mašta trpi svašta
MIKI Maus nema ni mamu ni tatu. Pepeljuga i Snežana imaju zle maćehe. Ivicu i Maricu roditelji ostavljaju u šumi, a Paja Patak živi sa sestrićima. Ovi, iako najpozitivniji Diznijevi junaci, nemaju porodice, ali imaju hrpu neprijatelja. Ako tome dodamo plejadu novokomponovanih histeričnih likova poput Digimona, Pokemona, Jugioa i kojekavih mutanta, pravo je pitanje kakve poruke šaljemo deci kroz bajke, igračke i crtaće.

Darfur: War without end
If Mohammed Izadein had met Elsadiq Elzein Rokero last year, he would have tried to kill him. Today, he calls him “brother”. Sitting on a straw mat in a simple mud hut in the village of Sabun, deep in the heart of the Jebel Marra, a fertile mountainous region in the centre of Darfur, Mr Izadein recounts how the two men - one Arab, one Fur - have become unlikely allies against the Sudanese government.

The Prado’s new wing
Rafael Moneo has done something very odd, even unorthodox, to the Prado, Madrid’s world-renowned city-centre art gallery. He has spent the past five years directing the construction of a major new extension to the vast neoclassical building, designed by Juan de Villanueva in the 18th century. Flying in the face of 21st-century orthodoxy, he has avoided the temptation to design an “iconic” (in other words, showy) gallery that might have rivalled Frank Gehry’s phantasmagorical Bilbao Guggenheim; or, closer to home, the prismatic sensationalism of the planned extension to London’s Tate Modern, promised by Herzog + de Meuron.

Wine: Chile’s new wave
When I tasted Miguel Torres’s distinctive Chilean superblend of cabernet, carmenère, tempranillo and monastrell, I was intrigued by the name Conde de Superunda (the 2000 vintage is £24.95, Harrods), since the “Count of Tsunami” seems a strange name for a wine. The title was conferred on Manso de Velasco, the Spanish governor of Chile, after his role in recovering ships and rescuing survivors of a tidal wave caused by the great earthquake of 28 October 1746, which wiped out almost all 5,000 inhabitants of Callao. But although honoured by Ferdinand VI with the title of Viceroy of Peru, the 74-year-old Velasco was on his way home to Spain when he lost the siege of Havana to the English, was court-martialled for his pains and dispatched to Granada in disgrace.

Why Croatia’s Cavtat is a pearl in its own right
Truman Capote famously said of Venice that visiting the city was like eating a whole box of chocolate liqueurs all in one go. I feel a bit like that about Dubrovnik. Beyond doubt, Croatia’s “pearl of the Adriatic” is breathtakingly beautiful - a jewel encased by city walls and, beyond them, by the unbroken blue of the sea. But its opulence can be overwhelming. There are no fewer than 17 sumptuous churches crammed within barely a square kilometre of Old Town. And, in the summer, the heat within the city’s medieval walls can become fiercely oppressive, as hordes of visitors and cruise-ship parties push and shove within the crowded confines of narrow streets and alleyways.
