...Crimson warmly welcomes Daedalus to Mt. Auburn Street--indeed, we have been anxiously awaiting its arrival. The Bow and Arrow Pub (made famous in the 1998 flick Good Will Hunting) abandoned us just last year. The ever-popular and chic Grafton Street will have to close its doors and change locations by the end of this year. And it now seems that the Crimson Sports Grille may soon be forced to take a temporary leave of absence...
...Gilmore Girls done as domestic drama. This quiet story, based on Elizabeth Strout's novel, might never have aired without Winfrey's name. That may be why the film ramps up the melodrama; between the moody imagery and eerie music, you'd think you were watching a '70s horror flick. But the understated leads shine.

But if I think your spiritual beliefs are in error and I attempt to spare you an eternity of hellfire by converting you to a different set of beliefs, that is widely considered a terrible insult. The Anti-Defamation League and other Jewish organizations denounce any efforts to convert Jews to Christianity. Mainstream Christian organizations avoid conversion campaigns and declare they are pleased for Jews...
