...asks directors to “reevaluate what qualities they seek when they cast their actors and actresses,” defining neither what he believes directors have sought in the past nor what he thinks they should seek in the future. If he implies that “fresh faces” and minorities need added assistance to be cast, this is condescending. Every semester, dozens of students of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds find a home in Harvard’s theater, some having never appeared in a campus production before. To suggest that any person or particular...
...cracks in the relationship began to show in January, when McConnell - fresh off his own surprisingly tough re-election battle - told the National Press Club that he would wait to comment on the 2010 race until Bunning "had made his intentions clear." That prompted a furious response from Bunning, who suggested McConnell has either lost his memory or his honesty.

He spent $20 million, three times the record-setting $6 million Bunning raised in 2004, and by the time the votes were counted found himself more than $2 million in debt.

The tycoon was convicted in 2005 of fraud and tax evasion, but prosecutors have introduced the new charges, claiming they are based on evidence brought forward by erstwhile Yukos subsidiary companies...
...film is not concerned with what will happen in the future. That makes it a blast of fresh air after the cacophony of talking heads that dominate news coverage from the Middle East. "As the project went on, the stories became more and more subtle and less and less propaganda," says executive producer Serge Gordey in Paris. "People were not saying the same mantra over and over." The documentary, which will screen at the South-by-Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, on March 17, as well as on television networks in Israel, Canada, the Netherlands and Sweden in the coming...
