...sell the idea of screaming and yelling and hitting as a way to get a performance out of people. But when he's screaming at a cameraman, then it's just that he's not in control." Russell, through a spokesman, declined to comment except to say that their clash was over a long time ago. But Clooney's decision to stand up to him illustrates another trait. He is one of the few leading men who come off as adults. He's 43, but--unlike most other actors--he often plays older...
...Bush was willing to give Putin a free hand in what Russia calls the near abroad, the states that spun off from the broken Soviet Union. At the same time, Bush has made encouraging democracy around the world a central pillar of his presidency. In Ukraine those two policies clash mightily.

Instead, for men like the soldiers of Alpha Company's 3rd Platoon, part of Task Force 2-2, the fight was far more intense, chaotic and harrowing. The Americans battled armed insurgents...
...playing in Harvard Square, the satirical Team America: World Police. Because Huyghe’s context is not just the academy, but no less Harvard, his challenge may be greater: as Princeton Professor Cornel R. West ’74 and University President Lawrence H. Summers well know, the clash of the low and high is particularly jarring when the worlds of mass-media and academia collide...
