...intelligence services. The intent of the act was to make one agency responsible for coordinating all intelligence to prevent anything falling through the cracks, another Pearl Harbor. The CIA certainly has let things fall through the cracks, but won't a free-for-all for the lead intel post abroad make our intelligence more dysfunctional than ever?

...issue of settlements may be a smart litmus test of Israel's intentions, because it draws a clear line between those in Israel and among its supporters abroad who support a two-state solution, and those who don't.

...that time abroad has instilled in Steves a decidedly European sensibility. He has spoken in favor of decriminalizing marijuana and has said Europeans probably have healthier attitudes than Americans do about sex. "I'm against legislated morality," he explains.

...Burt's parents, for instance: Jerry (Jeff Daniels) and Gloria (Catherine O'Hara). Burt and Verona have moved to be near them in the child's first years, but now they're moving abroad and renting their house to strangers, leaving the kids to find some other place to live. That sets Burt and Verona on a trip across the country, and into Canada, visiting cities where old friends might cue them to settle down. Some friends: shrills and quacks. Some country: this is an American road movie that hates most Americans. No surprise when you consider than, in American...
