...hour television documentary about the girl's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, was broadcast nationally last Wednesday night. It accorded sympathetic treatment to the McCanns, who remain official suspects in the investigation. The couple were portrayed as clearly anguished victims, and they were given a chance to renew their appeal for information to help find Madeleine, whom they believe is still alive. Greenslade expects most of the anniversary coverage will likewise hew to a "respectful" line toward the couple...
...more heated,” said moderator and HLS student Nimer Sultany after the event. Chomsky did take one shot at law professor Alan M. Dershowitz, with whom he has had previously publicized disagreements concerning Israeli-Palestinian relations, and who, after being rebuffed in a late appeal to the Nakba committee for a debate, was set to speak after Chomsky at another venue. “The deceit is normal and uninteresting,” Chomsky said, referencing a chapter in Dershowitz’s book “The Case for Israel” and moving on to elements...

Perhaps some Republican voters would have been similarly offended if McCain had more openly deflected Bush’s support...
...however, who thinks it’s such a terrible thing for guys to make movies about guys being guys. While turning tales of the perennially unemployed, overweight, and substance-dependent into comedies does little to improve the image of us heterogametes, I understand the appeal. Undoubtedly, though, the films would benefit from a bit of refocusing and, perhaps more importantly, a feminine touch.While this is unlikely to happen, it seems as though the women of American Comedy like to do things differently. And most recently, they seem to be doing it better. The Tina Fey and Amy Poehler vehicle...
