Clinton believes Obama's support is largely a mirage--a bunch of true believers whose passion might help him cinch the nomination, but that may prove an insufficient bedrock for winning a general election when the spell might be broken by tough questions about national-security credentials, economic-policy plans and rich experience.

Curiously, the movie's most intense, honest physical emotion is between Madhavan and Balan. Their kiss when he proposes...
Nicole has willingly braved chlorine, Jell-O, amniotic fluid, and sweat to bring FM some of its best color reporting this year. Though we’ll miss her braving the evangelicals in Harvard Square and teaching us how to deliver a baby in a cinch, we’re happy to have her guiding new ones down her journalistic path...
