What those foreigners are missing is that French culture is surprisingly lively. Its movies are getting more imaginative and accessible. Just look at the Taxi films of Luc Besson and Gérard Krawczyk, a rollicking series of Hong Kong-style action comedies; or at such intelligent yet crowd-pleasing works as Cédric Klapisch's L'Auberge Espagnole and Jacques Audiard's The Beat That My Heart Skipped, both hits on the foreign art-house circuit. French novelists are focusing increasingly on the here and now: one of the big books of this year's literary rentr...
...Arab women cross westward for Pilates classes or to go shopping, and Israelis venture into the Old City for tasty hummus and a puff on a narghile. One recent Friday, a procession of black-coated ultra-Orthodox Jews hurrying through Damascus Gate toward the Western Wall ran into a crowd of prayer-going Arabs. They all stopped to gape at a large, dead shark hanging from a hook outside a butcher's shop.

As long as Harris doesn't foul and instead feeds Lin and Housman on the cuts and threes, the Crimson can pull this off. Let's get back to the action. 3:24 to play. Lin misses the front end, big miss.

...caught by a camera throwing a rock at an Israeli guardhouse. Nor do I remember (because it didn’t happen) Professor Matory complaining when Israel’s former Prime Minister Ehud Barak was prevented from speaking at Concordia University by a hard-left anti-Israel crowd of violent censors. For that matter, where was Columbia’s Eric Foner when the leader of the Minutemen was chased off the stage at Columbia by another group of freedom-suppressing hooligans...
