...does not drag in the pretentious fashion of Close Encounters—indeed, it feels far shorter than its two hour running time. It does not present its ideas in a terribly new light, but it has heart and it shows us some truth. Spielberg, for his part, keeps dishonest audience manipulation at a low level by his standards, though he can’t resist giving E.T. a sudden late-movie illness to raise the film’s tear-jerking quotient. Those who decry E.T.’s loss of the 1982 Best Picture Oscar to Gandhi...
Precision munitions are worse than worthless if their targets are selected by dishonest men. Western diplomats and Afghan intelligence sources in Kabul say that until recently the special forces in eastern and southern Afghanistan have relied on untrustworthy informants who tricked the U.S. into sending in lethal air strikes on their tribal enemies.

Anyone can post anything, then...

"If the President of the United States were found to have been dishonest, it would be irreparable," says René Rémond, president of the National Foundation of Political Science. "But our Latin tradition is more indulgent. I don't think voters will pay much attention to these corruption scandals." However astonishing that may sound, France is a notoriously cynical place. When the second-round election results are declared on May 6, they won't just name the country's new President - they...
...diverse backgrounds but several common experiences—poverty, hardship, incredibly long work hours, immigration, separation from their families, cultural alienation from American society and the constant hurdle of a language barrier. From its position of privilege, Harvard management’s overtures to the janitors are consciously dishonest and reflect an unwillingness to understand what paycheck-to-paycheck life is like...
