...youthful throngs of Berliners drawn to the show, it's more than a photo exhibit; it's a flashback to one of the defining traumas of their city. Among them are malcontents, to be sure, who are tired of being reminded. "Ah, these scenes are familiar," a dismissive middle-aged photographer complained, "we've seen this kind of stuff so often before." In the guest book another offended visitor protested, "It's bull! You shouldn't be allowed to show the suicide of a Nazi family." But for classes of high-school teenagers brought to the gallery, the show...
...Ripper exhibit recounts the unsolved murders through the prism of life in Victorian Whitechapel, using photographs, police files and press reports to bring the era to life.

Nigel Smith wants to engender a fandemic. In a new book, Is Milton Better Than Shakespeare?, he sets out to convince "as general a public as possible" that Milton is the "more salient and important" of these literary giants...
...Bush changed course and, along with some of our European allies, refused to deal with the Hamas government unless it recognized Israel. The message to democracy activists in the region was crystal clear: We want elections unless we don't like the results of those elections. It stands as Exhibit A of the incoherence of the Bush foreign policy...
