...some astute suggestions; Netflix's suck. If, on the search line, you type in the documentary Joe Louis: For All Time, you'll be directed to the French omnibus film Paris, Je T'Aime. (T'aime is close to time, but the two movies have absolutely nothing in common.) Try The Monster and the Ape, a 1947 serial, and up pops the 2009 animated film Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure.

...strategy with both personal and political roots, say advisers. On the one hand, the President, a former community organizer, is intellectually predisposed to focusing on common ground with his adversaries, not the differences. On the other hand, he is betting that the American people will measure success by counting the big wins, not by worrying over the detailed principles and proposals that were sacrificed along...
