Hannaman might seem to have little in common with the four lead characters on TV's Sex and the City, single women who live the supafly life and discard men quicker than last season's bag and shoes--and look damn good doing it. Her sex life isn't nearly as colorful, for one thing. All of them, nevertheless, are part of a major societal shift: single women, once treated as virtual outcasts, have moved to the center of our social and cultural life. Unattached females--wisecracking, gutsy gals, not pathetic saps--are the heroine du jour in fiction, from...
...that's not why we're at the theater watching Live Free. We're there to be rendered breathless by the stunts and the CGI tricks, which are admirably managed. And for the film's relentless, one-damn-thing-after-another pacing. In its primitiveness, its refusal of anything like psychological nuance or big ideas, lies its dubious glory. It is a movie born to be forgotten-except as something that against your better judgment, you had a pretty good time watching back in the summer of '07.

...late '60s, Broadway-musical actress-dancer-singer Gretchen Wyler visited her local dog pound in Warwick, N.Y. Wyler (whose shows included the original Guys and Dolls, Bye Bye Birdie and Damn Yankees) immediately redirected her energies to animal-rights activism. She launched the Genesis Awards, which since 1986 have annually honored such media and entertainment figures as Paul McCartney for tackling animal-protection issues, and in the '90s merged her action group, Ark Trust, with the U.S. Humane Society...
...been in Lamont for three days. I work harder than I have to so I can fill my otherwise empty life with meaning. b) Bits. How can I study when I’m too busy distracting everyone else from studying? I wish I wasn’t so damn popular. c) None of them. I just wish my legs hadn’t atrophied...my arms are getting tired from the trip between my bed and the desk. d) Moral Reasoning...
