...shorthand journalism to define each decade by a catchphrase--the Roaring Twenties, the swingin' '60s, the Me decade '70s. Five years into the 21st century, we're in trouble. The current decade doesn't even have a nickname (the zeros? the aughts? the uh-ohs?), let alone a cultural personality. And Hollywood isn't helping. The film industry, especially in the four-month peak-viewing period called summer, rarely tries squarely addressing Zeitgeist anxieties.

Since 1996, Gallo has quietly launched foreign ventures, most notably Black Swan, produced with Australia's Brian McGuigan winery. The brand sold 1.2 million cases...
...change his stance with regard to the reforms set out by the Second Vatican Council. He just remained faithful to what the documents actually say and did not get caught up in the so-called spirit of Vatican II, which was so prevalent in the late 1960s and '70s. (The Rev.) John A. Cramer South Bend, Indiana, U.S. I was upset by your choice of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somali-born Dutch politician and director whose film Submission portrays a Muslim woman ritually abused by the men in her family. As a female practicing Muslim living in the West...
