...stillness was broken only by teary sniffles as a large screen at the Institute of Politics (IOP) flashed grainy photos, some of naked detainees chained to one another as American guards smiled. “The Ghosts of Abu Ghraib”—the work of the youngest daughter of Robert F. Kennedy ’48—played before an emotional audience last night at the IOP Forum. “This is not just about Abu Ghraib,” Rory E. K. Kennedy said. “It’s about America...
...feel as though my balls have been ripped off. And I like it. Black Snake Moan Celluloid Gold This is two minutes and twenty five seconds of pure, hard-core, home-cooked, old, weird Americana.

But Casey, if he believed that, kept it to himself, and that...

No question, Tracy could dish it out, as in this sequence from 1947: "Like a whip, a piece of chain flies through the air - a chain attached to Tracy's cane handle. AGAIN AND AGAIN, the chain slashes! Tiny pieces of glass fly through the air." More often, though, Tracy was on the receiving end of the mayhem...
