...unlikely to equal Fahrenheit 9/11 in political impact. In many ways, though, this is Moore's magnum opus: the grandest statement of his career-long belief that big business is screwing the hard-working little guy while government connives in the atrocity. As he loudly tried to confront General Motors CEO Roger Smith in Roger & Me in 1989, and pleaded through a bull horn to get officials at Guantanamo to give medical treatment to surviving victims of 9/11, so in Capitalism he attempts to make a citizen's arrest of AIG executives, and puts tape around the New York Stock...
...Though long considered the favorite to win the position of Director General at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris, Hosni's chances of winning that role later this month have been hit by an international campaign launched earlier this year. It began with a boom last May, when French writer Bernard-Henri Lévy, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel, and French film director Claude Lanzmann authored an editorial in Le Monde accusing Hosni of being a "dangerous man" who'd been responsible for a series of "insane declarations" regarding Israel...

Not unlike the generation of grunge bands it inspired, it never seemed meant to last. Well-beloved but critically understated in general, the band was, for a time, the middle-child of indie rock’s late-eighties inception; robbed both of Sonic Youth’s extended-career veneration and the Pixies’ cult-pop status, Dinosaur Jr. was expected to produce a single masterpiece—namely 1987?...
...desolate women and children one might expect from the founder of Harvard Law School Human Rights Program; but instead they offer a subtler look at the beauty and diversity of the earth’s landscapes and its inhabitants. The selections in the exhibition can be divided into two general categories: landscapes and portraits. Emphasizing the designs and patterns found in nature and light, many of the landscape photographs feature stunning vistas that feel strangely geometrical given the organic nature of the subjects. At first glance, “Fields and Diagonals, Umbria, Italy” simply looks like blocks...
