...Rabbi David Rosen, who heads the American Jewish Committee?s interfaith office, said he was ?disappointed? that there wasn?t a more explicit reference to German responsibility. ?He speaks like [the Nazis] just dropped in out of nowhere,? Rosen said. ?That?s just a little bit facile.? But the rabbi ultimately thinks this pontiff is committed to keeping strong ties to Jews, judging by his presence here and words that were ?saturated with his sense of bonding with the Jewish people...
...Shortbus is a nice, funny, romantic comedy-drama about relationships among "the gifted and challenged" in post-9/11 New York City. It could slip comfily into any slot at the Sundance Film Festival, except for one thing: it has lots of explicit, hard-core...

Four days later he wrote a letter to an ethics officer at GSA asking permission to go on the Scotland trip and said airfare would be paid for by a "lobbyist" who "has no business before GSA." The Justice department cited this as evidence of obstruction and making false statements on Safavian's part when it indicted him last year. Safavian goes on trial May 22. Safavian...
