...Director David Gordon Green, whose script came from Stewart O'Nan's novel, has navigated these slippery shoals before. Green's George Washington, made in 2000, when he was just 25, plunged deep into the inarticulate depths of preteen love; and his All the Right Girls brought the same meticulous, poetic attention on college-age kids. Snow Angels, though seemingly broader and more conventional, has the Green love of repeated behavioral detail. We see a woman run her fingers through her hair and, moments later, her son does the same; an estranged couple faces each other, edgily she with...
...America, how its system, can be great. The incredible growth in television coverage abroad, especially in places with fast-growing middle classes such as China and India, is fuelling that interest. Even in developed countries like France this election season has been unusually compelling. "In 2000, there was very deep confusion in France about just how the American election system works," says Catherine Croisier, a professor and researcher at the Center for Trans-Atlantic Studies in Dijon, a unit within France's élite Sciences Po graduate school.

A Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that as a result of Sicko...

But that never slowed him down. It only made him work harder. "There was always," he said, "something deep in me that knew I am going to have to work really hard to get up to where the other kids are." At the age of 52, Huckabee is not done...
...Colombia, still embroiled in a four-decade-old civil war over its deep social inequalities, argues that it wouldn't have had to violate Ecuador's border if Correa, like Chavez, hadn't been harboring FARC militants in his territory. The FARC "is a drug cartel that kills civilians," Colombian Vice President Francisco Santos said in a TIME interview last month. "It's like al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hizballah - where are we supposed to draw the line for our security...
