...Although often a resident of England and a frequent traveler to the U.S., my friend for over 40 years,Mordecai Richler, remained the consummate Canadian. Also an unapologetic Jew. "To be a Jew and a Canadian is to emerge from the ghetto twice," he once wrote. His scathing social commentary and masterful comic novels derived from that vantage point. He became a Canadian Mencken, caustically attacking separatists and French language supremacists. But he could also go to Waugh, matching in his best fiction?from The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1959) to Barney's Version (1997)?the work of contemporaries Philip...

...Music" was all about her ghetto booty, "Don't Tell Me" suggested a penchant for square-dancing cowboys, but now Madonna's third single off her new album-entitled "What It Feels Like for a Girl"-shows us that deep down the Material Girl still has some hardcore rage to work out. The wonderfully subversive video was banned by MTV which now refuses to air it because it's "irresponsible." The decision is befuddling for a number of reasons. First, MTV airs "irresponsible" shows all the time. "Undressed" makes me cringe with its inane, orgiastic storylines which are no better...
