...speak on the situation, since the province of Nova Scotia donated the tree to Boston. “When it left Nova Scotia, it was a Christmas tree,” Hamm said, according to the Toronto Globe and Mail. The tensions surrounding the tree this year have cast a shadow over a tradition between Boston and Canada. For the past 34 years, Nova Scotia has sent a carefully-selected tree to Boston as a gesture of gratitude for the help that Boston gave to Halifax—the capital of Nova Scotia—in the aftermath...
That's because readers of a novel have already made their own perfect movie version. They have visualized it, fleshed out the locations and set the pace as they either zipped through the book or scrupulously savored every word. Often they have even cast it. In the late 1930s, by the thousands, readers of Gone With the Wind demanded that Southern rogue Rhett Butler be played by that damn yankee Clark Gable. Readers are a very possessive bunch.

Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have used the pro-authorization votes of individual senators and House representatives to cast doubt on the appropriateness of any subsequent criticism, changes in circumstances notwithstanding. But with Bush’s approval rating at 37 percent as of last week’s Gallup poll, even this goad will likely not be enough to silence his critics. Congress should seek to establish hearings to examine...
...focus of the movie, giving a coherent theme to all the chaotic elements of his life. “Walk the Line” is a “Ray”-caliber biopic. Unlike “Ray,” however, it makes no attempt to cast Cash as a legend in the making, choosing instead to focus on his humanity. Nothing is overdramatized, a wise choice when dealing with a man with a voice like sandpaper who sang for “good Christian folk” and inmates alike. It is this same popular appeal...
