...very carefully. The distinction sketched out here between the “moral” view and the “amoral” view is essentially the same as that drawn by another reviewer of Trilling’s book, who divides intellectual life between “fundamentalism?? and “relativism.” In his speech, Obama warned that “if you truly believe that you are carrying out divine will, then there is no need for restraint—no need to spare the pregnant mother, or the medic...
...allow the actors to be relocated. Yet for all the controversy surrounding the scene, in its final form, it is brief and relatively tame. Still, the very fact that the movie’s content—its frank treatment of sexual harassment, ethnic tension, corruption, and Islamic fundamentalism??could put these young actors at risk in their real lives illustrates that the story, while a Hollywood production, is not beyond the realm of possibility. Two contributors who are not unknowns bring Hosseini’s story to life. Director Marc Forster, recently tapped to direct the next...
...isn’t about gay students at all. If it were, you’d see more antipathy toward the Internal Revenue Service when it swindles gay professors and staff from getting a marriage deduction according to the tax code. There would also be more antipathy towards Islamic fundamentalism??the regimes of which routinely torture and even execute gay people—instead of the complacent multicultural mollycoddling worshipped on campus...

Meanwhile, Sahar encounters another guy (Aaron, played by Mike Dwan), and the romantic comedy continues. The powerful scenes in which she confronts the existence of fundamentalism?? wrestling with whether wearing a headscarf is demeaning and the reasons for her anger at organized religion—co-exist uneasily with genuinely funny scenes in which she flirts playfully with Aaron and has to clear up misunderstandings with her mother...
...example, which Ono performed for her Harvard audience last Sunday, is a healing but ultimately hollow shadow of more powerful early imaginings, while her political rhetoric—that we bring “light to those in darkness” in the case of Islamic fundamentalism??now appears painfully out of touch. Though she transcended the limits of artistic tradition in witty and inspiring ways, the spirit of Ono’s early work is ironically destined to survive within the confines of the museums she passionately disavowed. Still, though the 60s may be over, you could...
