...becomes clearer on Saturday, when I end up at a yacht club party of professionals in their late twenties, mostly expats working in finance. After I get to the party, a group of us end up talking about languages...
Documentary films are mediated too, by the filmmaker's natural desire to find a coherent narrative, to lure you into the stories of the people onscreen--to (it's not a bad word) entertain. Nowhere is this itch to Hollywoodize reality clearer than in American Teen, director Nanette Burstein's account of one year, 2005--06, in the lives of four high school seniors in Warsaw, Ind.

The agency claimed that greenhouse gas regulation would lead to too many job losses, and found it wasn't clear that global warming poses a threat to people's health. Given enough time, environmental groups would almost certainly sue to reverse the EPA's ruling, but with the Bush Administration...
