...tainted-goods charges are not unique to the Getty. For decades, ancient artifacts have been illicitly dug up and sold to see-no-evil museums. But the Getty was a notoriously aggressive collector, and some in the art world believe that its hunger and spending habits encouraged looting and theft. Ironically, True was responsible in 1995 for the Getty's adopting a strict policy of buying only well-documented pieces. "She extricated the museum from an ethical morass," says University of Virginia professor of art history Malcolm Bell. "It's extremely sad that the one person who understood that...
...directive updates a 1961 document that bars from the priesthood "those who are afflicted with evil tendencies to homosexuality or pederasty." According to the leading Italian daily, Corriere della Sera, and other newspapers, the new instruction provides much more specific guidance on whom to exclude. First, it is said to eliminate from consideration anyone who has engaged in gay sexual relations in the previous three years.

Drawing from his analysis of wrestling, Cantor postulates that “the decline of old nationalism may be linked to a new kind of creative freedom...
...Charlie” made it off the ground. What the public received, instead of a triumphant return to form for a once interesting and offbeat commercial director, was a cultural product more neo-fascist in character than a cabinet meeting in the Bush administration. How a movie about an evil dictator who fires all his employees, leaving them impoverished, wretched, starving, and without dignity, only to be continually loved and revered by them, could captivate audiences in America, the land of the free, is beyond me. Surely public opinion polls on gay marriage and the worth of lives of innocent...
