...through the folk bard's hometown of Hibbing, Minn., and chats with authors and musicians on such topics as "Einstein Disguised as Robin Hood: The Enigmatic Jewishness of Bob Dylan" and "Hotter Than a Crotch: Bob Dylan at the Borderline of Sleaze." Symposium organizer Colleen Sheehy, explaining Dylan's appeal, says, "He's someone people love to argue about...
...begin with, it’s a painfully overdone film. Dialogue often consists of no more than characters losing limbs and yelling “MY ARM!” The script suffers from unnecessary sex scenes, giving the impression that the directors deliberately added certain content to appeal to the unwashed masses. B-movie composer Tyler Bates scores a forgettable soundtrack, trying to balance “Lord of the Rings”-esque orchestral fare and low-budget modern rock; he fails on both fronts.

Democrats greeted the verdict with near-unanimous calls on Bush to forswear a pardon in the Libby case. To be sure, Bush has been more stingy about pardons than some recent Presidents. During his eight-year term, Bill Clinton issued 395 pardons and 61 commutations during his presidency. The first President Bush, by comparison, issued only 77 pardons during his four-year term. His son has thus far issued...
