...many found themselves marginalized by white as well as Aboriginal society. Since a searing official report on the practice appeared in 1997, Australia's six state governments have made apologies.

Previous governments took "a Band-Aid approach" to problems in the Aboriginal community such as ill-health, poor education and alcoholism "by using money to try and fix it," says Uniting Church minister Sealin Garlett. "Today the government has focused on the spirit...
...martyrdom is admirable, even preferable, in a saint, but it is terrible in a relationship in which generosity demands payment in guilt. And a celebration that once featured bachelors pulling women's names out of an urn like a door prize and a belief that the first person you spotted on the morning of Feb. 14 would be your mate for life doesn't say much for romance.

Which is not to say that Cassandra's Dream is quite the breakthrough film I think it might have been. It is a talkative film, rather earnest in its tonalities, not at all a deft, witty or well-paced. On the other hand...
...naked figure on newsstands across the country. The debate rages over whether Nouvel Observateur, a popular weekly, should have put this photo on its cover to commemorate the centenary of Beauvoir’s birth. After all, Beauvoir is an icon for feminism, a fiery philosopher who decried the guilt associated with her gender and female subjection to men. Today’s feminists are up in arms over the scandalous picture, saying that it objectifies one of chauvinism’s greatest adversaries. Of course, the paper’s editors love it, arguing it?...
