...ghost of Jimmy Carter is haunting the 2008 campaign. Well, let me restate that: the ghost of his presidency haunts the 2008 campaign. As for Carter, he certainly has not passed on; he is an active freelance diplomat and campaign consultant. In recent days he has told Hillary Clinton to "give it up" in June and estimated the size of Israel's nuclear stockpile. (Other previous Presidents have kept tactfully silent about its very existence.) Earlier, both John McCain and Barack Obama had felt compelled to denounce Carter's meeting with representatives of Hamas. Carter's almost predictable intrusions into...
...Adams, treated nature as paradise, as God's own message board. Robert Adams--no relation to Ansel--loved that tradition but knew it wasn't adequate to tell the story of the new West, full of strip malls and tract housing as sunstruck and flimsy as next year's ghost town...
...Ward. Gabe Unger ’11’s friend from New Orleans, Kimble Wright, and his mom led us around the Ninth Ward by car, where we encountered dozens of deserted stores and shopping malls.

He teaches drawing by day and works as a night porter at a Paris hotel...
...frantic suburban comedy. Reunion in France, which opened within a month of Casablanca, has a similar plot - Paris society belle Joan Crawford is tempted to leave her Resistance-hero husband for American airman John Wayne - but it's miscast, risibly implausible, your basic botch. In The Canterville Ghost (1944), Dassin's job was to referee between two shameless scene-stealers: Charles Laughton and the seven-year-old Margaret O'Brien. If there's a magic moment in any of these features, it might be the climax to Two Smart People (1946), where gunzel Elisha Cook, Jr., falls dead...
