...Standing up for what you believe in, and being prepared to pay the price, is the theme of two fine new non-fiction films. Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck?s Shut Up & Sing had its world premiere this week at the Toronto International Film Festival, with the Chicks in attendance. Patricia Foulkrod?s The Ground Truth, which opened Friday in New York and eight other cities, and is available on DVD Sept. 26, details the harrowing experiences of soldiers in Iraq and after they returned home...

Unless you are planning a campaign this fall or trying to butter up to Thomas Professor of Government and Sociology and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Theda Skocpol for GSAS admissions, this is probably not the one book to read before the onslaught of syllabi...
