Diamonds Are for Never?

The New York Times today has an article about growing awareness of the diamond industry by the engaged (or soon-to-be engaged), and the impact of the new movie "Blood Diamond" on the industry. "Blood Diamond" stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly, and Djimon Hounsou. The CS Monitor has a review of the film, called "Star-studded, flawed diamond," as well as an accompanying article, "The sordid history behind Africa's conflict diamonds."
