...they merely redirected funds and resources formerly given to non-compliant groups to those that accepted the provisions. The second has some footing. When the policy came into force some major reproductive health providers, particularly some affiliates of the International Planned Parenthood Federation refused to participate, although 44 ultimately chose to. This intransigence, however, was entirely self-imposed and absurdly doctrinaire—after all, the federation does claim to advocate for a universal right to abortion on demand from puberty onward.

...artists served in the Mekong Delta during the 11-year conflict, tasked with recording battles and creating images that could be used to inspire civilians in the war effort. Sixty-two died in action. Some were regular soldiers as well as artists; others performed no military duties but chose to go on reconnaissance missions and into combat to create their works. Recruits were trained in drawing, and professors from the Hanoi College of Fine Arts traveled the Ho Chi Minh Trail to set up art courses in the Mekong Delta before dispatching their students into battle with sketchbooks, ink bottles...

...whose movie “Blue State” premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007. At Harvard, Lewy shied away from the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies, instead delving into Russian and American novels and earning a degree in History and Literature. Lewy chose to later complement his undergraduate experience with a Masters of Fine Arts from Columbia, but he cites his broad Harvard education as providing him with important perspective for his work today. “I’m working on a fair number of projects where history comes into play...
