...dismiss Ogletree; the professor continues to teach at Harvard Law School.Just a few weeks after Ogletree’s admission, the Weekly Standard lambasted Laurence Tribe—who had vocally defended Ogletree—and pointed out numerous places where his 1985 “God Save This Honorable Court” was strikingly similar to Henry J. Abraham’s 1974 book “Justices and Presidents.”Once again, Bottum led the charge against an HLS professor, reprinting passages from both works side-by-side to show their similarities while commenting...
...This choleric temperament would define Cleese's post-Flying Circus personality: as Basil Fawlty in his Fawlty Towers sitcom; as the martinet sergeant in the film of Peter Nichols' Privates on Parade; and, right now, in Spamalot, as the Voice of God.

...idiotic ditty, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," helped make Life of Brian that rare Crucifixion movie you could hum your way out of.

David Frost, a Footlights secretary, would soon launch himself as a TV comedy mogul with That Was the Week That Was and The Frost Report, for which he drew on Oxbridge grads, including all five British Pythons, as writers and performers. (Later Footlighters included Emma...
...Your story explained that even though light was created at the Big Bang, there was darkness before stars formed. Likewise, the first chapter of Genesis states that God created light before he created the stars, and separated light from darkness in the interim. Not too many years ago, some people said the Bible's account of the beginning could not be true because light comes from stars, which could not have been created after light was. Now your article has shown how it could be true. Science has once again caught up with the Bible. Sara Borden Maple Valley, Washington...
