...days after Barack Obama's remarks about the bitter religion clingers of Middle America were made known, a near mob of conservative intellectuals sought to place his "élitism" in proper historical context. George Will located Obama securely in Adlai Stevenson's wine cellar, representing the effete strand of liberalism that corrupted F.D.R.'s party of the working people. William Kristol went straight for the main chance, positing Obama as a direct descendant of - yes - Karl Marx, who famously proclaimed religion to be the "opiate" of the masses. As the Marx meme fluttered across Fox News, you could almost hear...

The 6-ft.-tall (1.8 m) Vertical Limit houses 12 magnums of vintage Veuve Clicquot?each behind a hand-soldered door?and costs $70,000. Only 15 have been made, and eight have already sold. This summer the cellar line develops further with a three-magnum model...

Let's see what happens come June or July, when a contender needs those extra runs, or a cellar-dweller needs some publicity. Any publicity...
...goon. Richard Widmark, whose death on Monday was announced by his wife Susan Blanchard, had one of the grisliest, most electrifying debuts in movie history. In the 1947 Kiss of Death, he played the psychopathic Tommy Udo, maniacally giggling as he pushed a wheelchair-bound old lady down the cellar stairs to her death. This sort of violence, explosive and explicit, was startling in early postwar films, as were the insane delight glinting in the killer's eye, the sexual thrill in his catarrhal voice. But that was just acting - glorious acting - for Widmark was a well-liked, well-mannered...
