...screen as he shot some dazzling video of a bowl of bananas. One of the remarkable things about the D90 is that you can shoot video through virtually any Nikon-compatible lens--from fish-eyes to telephotos--going all the way back to the 1960s. "You can shoot video from superwide to frickin' long--like paparazzi-style Britney Spears stuff," said Kupcake. Just try doing that on your home video camera. Oh, wait: don't--because...
...1960s to the mid-1970s were the heyday of the crazy-girl book: books by and about young women who lost their minds. Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, Joanne Greenberg's haunting I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, Go Ask Alice, Sybil. There were books about crazy boys too, of course, such as Mark Vonnegut's The Eden Express. But that's just boys. Everybody knows they're crazy. There was something disturbingly, voyeuristically hypnotic about those hippie Ophelias--electrode paste on their temples beneath their center-parted hair, Jefferson Airplane on the sound track, psychedelic chaos...
...Bearing as many aliases - aka Mesrine, aka L'Instinct de Mort - as its subject, this true-crime bio-pic traces the exploits of the Clichy-born criminal who made mischief on three continents in the 1960s and 70s. (A 1984 film, Mesrine, told the same story.)

...weeks earlier on the same program, Brokaw had posed the same question to Pelosi, who had refused to answer. "Over the history of the Church," she insisted, "this is an issue of controversy." It is true that lay and church scholars engaged in a vigorous debate in the 1960s over the acceptability of contraceptive use before Pope Paul VI ended the discussion by reiterating official Church opposition to birth control. But the issue was separate from the question of when life begins, over which there has been little internal debate. The official Catechism says that "human life must be respected...
...University of Chicago sits on the city's South Side in a neighborhood called Hyde Park, an enclave of tree-lined streets, upscale condos and cafés. The law school is a space agey, 1960s-era glass-covered building on a campus largely modeled after Oxford University. Classroom No. 5 was Obama's favorite. It's a spare space on the building's first floor, with a stretch of windows overlooking a parking lot. Obama usually sat at a desk front and center in the room, before several semicircled rows of students. "What are the principles we can glean...
