...Minister Harold Macmillan similar to Cook's at Cambridge. Many of the Monty Python troupe had worked for Frost on earlier shows, and in the sketch "Timmy Williams Coffee Time" Eric Idle played Frost as a gladhander preening for TV crews while ignoring the plaints of a recently widowed friend. Pythonite John Cleese, on the radio show I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again mocked Frost's standard introduction by braying, "'Hello, good evening and welcome." In Frost/Nixon two people greet him with that phrase. Frost murmurs, "Actually I don't say that...

The film documents the amazing true story of the Bielski brothers, who helped thousands of Jews seek refuge in the Belarusian forest and escape the Nazis. Zwick was inspired to document this unique and moving narrative after a friend showed him an obituary in the New York Times for Zus Bielski, one of the brothers. “It was a story of a familiar moment but a very unfamiliar story within that moment,” Zwick said. “That they were reluctant heroes, that they were complex...

In this case, the bad guy tries to manipulate environmental leaders...

Despite his disdain for Washington, the Senate would at least "give Jeb a bully pulpit," says a friend. That could help him keep his party from falling too far into the centrist, bipartisan hands of new Republican leaders like his successor, Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who last month hosted a GOP governors conference in Bush's home city of Miami, where that more pragmatic politics was trumpeted. Even if Bush...
