The ancient pharaohs of Egypt hoped their stone monuments would be everlasting. But after only a few thousand years -- which does not resemble eternity even a little -- those monuments are ruins.
All day long, it seems, we are caught up in "anti-ruin" routines. We are constantly nourishing, cleaning or renewing something or someone, including ourselves. If you have had a car, you know what I mean. If you have teeth, you probably have an "anti-ruin" routine just for them. Otherwise, even your teeth will be in ruins.

THE ITALIAH. Six-year-old Vanya lives in a bleak, provincial Russian orphanage. When he's chosen to be adopted by an affluent Italian couple, it's a windfall he cautiously embraces. But a stray encounter with the distraught mother of another adopted child plants a seed of uncertainty in his mind. What if his real mother is looking for him?

In Vanya's small sphere, everything is for sale, from a winsome child to protectio...

I HAVE HEVER FORGOTTEN YOU: THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF SIMON WIESENTHAL. Richard Trank's profile of Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal initially has the dry feel of an educational film in its depiction of pre-World War Il European Jewish life, concentration-camp atrocities, and Wiesenthal's decades-long dedication to bringing Nazi war criminals to justice. The film, produced by the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, can be hagiographie, but the close association gave Trank access to rare footage, copious documentation and a wide roster of Wiesenthal associates. Clearly Trank's greatest asset is Wiesenthal himself, who, in many archival interviews, tells much of his own story. Wiesenthal proves a lively, quick-witted, even self-effacing narrator - a tiny man in a shabby suit, toiling in the s...
