...Ahmadinejad’s response to a question about Iran’s treatment of women, for instance, was typical. Instead of addressing the point, he went off on a tangent saying that “in Iran, every family who’s given a girl is given—in every Iranian family who has a girl, they’re 10 times happier than having a son…women are more respected than men are.” Even more telling was his discourse on Iran’s treatment of gays.

...most poignant in the case of Maps, the eldest. While the younger three vie for the affection of a childless couple, Maps sees parental figures with a hardened, distrustful gaze and instead turns to the overstated sexuality of Lucy (Teresa Palmer), the town’s fair-haired fast girl. Radcliffe, who has clearly found his niche in the troubled-orphan role, plays the part well.

In Georgia, Genarlow Wilson, now 21, faces molestation charges from engaging in consensual sex with a 15-year-old girl when...
...Baldwin, Tracy Morgan and the rest of the show’s merry crew. It’s foolish to summarize the “gist” of the show, because it’s risen so far above the initial premise of “All-American girl runs TV show; All-American hard-ass becomes her boss; both have to deal with All-American antics of All-American weirdo celebrity.” In just 21 episodes, Fey and Co. have created a fictional New York so rich with supporting characters and delightfully off-kilter logic that...
