Bosnian director Haris Pašović sees parallels between Derry and Mostar
Haris Pašović, who is staging The Conquest of Happiness in Derry, calls for artists to work together to promote reconciliation
Henry McDonald, Ireland correspondent

Pašović said he was struck by similarities between Derry's history and Mostar.
"It wasn't difficult to spot the parallels. Both cities have different communities, mainly on different sides of a river. Both cities are beautiful. Both cities have a complex history. And although there is peace in both cities, the process of integration and bringing communities together has been awfully slow."
The Conquest of Happiness is Pašović's directorial debut in the UK and Ireland, and involves 50 artists from Northern Ireland and the Balkans. Co-produced with Pašović's East West Centre in Sarajevo, the Mladinsko theatre in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana and Belfast's Prime Cut Productions, the theatrical-musical event is inspired by a question posed by the philosopher Bertrand Russell: how can people deserve happiness?
Emma Jordan from Prime Cut, who will co-direct the production – including a performance under the reconstructed Stari Most bridge, destroyed by Croat forces attacking the Bosnian side of Mostar – said that she, too, saw parallels between the Balkan city and Derry.

Bart vs. Australia
Original airdate in N.A.: 19-Feb-95
Bart and Homer run past the store at high speed; Lisa and Marge join them in their frantic race back to the embassy, a whole hoard of police and angry citizens in their wake. Ward sees them approaching. "Oh, the Simpsons. Well, they're not getting back in here." He pushes a button to close the embassy gate, but it stops working when the gate is closed half way. The Simpsons run in anyway as two marines close the gate the rest of the way by hand.
In the bedroom again, Marge is incensed.
Marge: I can't believe our government would set up Bart like that! I'm must say, I'm very angry at the State Department right now.
Ward: Yes, but Mrs. Simpson, please: we're about to reach a breakthrough with the Aussies.
Conover: [on the phone] Then it's agreed: during the bargaining session, we each get two candy apples...all right, one candy and one caramel.
Marge: Oh, for the love of criminy! Gimme that. [grabs phone] Look, I know Bart did something wrong, but he's my son, and _I'm_ going to punish him myself. Our countries may have their differences, but as human beings, I think we can all agree, there's no substitute for the discipline of a loving parent... [listens] He wants to talk to you.
Conover: Y'ello? Mm hmm...so we're in agreement. She won't be allowed near the phone again.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you! It is good to be in Washington! (Applause.) It is good to be in Washington -- it is good to be in Seattle.
So, basically, what this campaign is coming down to is that between now and November they’re betting that you will all come down with a case of amnesia. (Laughter.) They’re basically -- they’re counting on the fact that you don’t remember; that you’re going to forget what happened when they were in charge for the last -- for eight years.
They spent almost a decade driving the economy into a ditch. I mean, think about it if this -- if the economy was a car and they drove it into the ditch. (Laughter.) And so me and Patty, and a bunch of others, we go down there and we put on our boots and we’re pushing and shoving. And it’s muddy and there are bugs and we’re sweating -- (laughter) -- and shoving, pushing hard. And they’re all standing there sipping Slurpees -- (laughter) -- and watching and -- “you’re not pushing hard enough.” “That’s not the right way to push.” (Pretends to sip a Slurpee.) (Laughter and applause.)

Chapter 13
Visitors
The minute precision demanded by ophthalmic surgery denied her coffee – she couldn't risk the slight tremor in her hands that might come from caffeine – and imposed a degree of concentration on her that few professions demanded. There were more difficult medical skills, but not many. This was the main reason she drove her 911. It was as though in pushing through the air, or taking a tight corner at twenty-five in second gear, the car drained the excess energy from the driver and spread it into the environment. She almost always got home in a good mood. Tonight would be better still since it was Jack's turn to fix dinner. If the car had been built with a brain, it would have noticed the reduced pressure on accelerator and brakes as they took the Route 2 exit. It was being pampered now, like a faithful horse that had jumped all the fences properly.
"Okay?" Alex asked, keeping west on Route 50 toward Washington.
The other man in the back handed Miller the clipboard with the new time notation. There was a total of seven entries, all but the last complete with photographs. Scan looked at the numbers. The target was on a beautifully regular schedule.
"Fine," he said after a moment.
"I can't give you a precise spot for the hit – traffic can make things go a little funny. I'd say we should try on the east side of the bridge."
"Agreed."
