...Michael Moore docu-comedy Capitalism: A Love Story, which premiered at Venice last night and which looks like a masterpiece of attitudinal moviemaking next to Stone's slapdash effort. Moore appears in a news clip from 2007, lecturing Wolf Blitzer on what the filmmaker saw as CNN's gutless coverage of the U.S. Iraq invasion. Moore and Stone share the notions that capitalism can be predatory and that priests, in the U.S. and Paraguay (where the President is a former Catholic bishop), are all liberation theologians. And in both films, Barack Obama's election is heralded as triggering...
...offer was fleeting reference—the most prolific protesting found in the Sacramento Bee—and some troubled ruminations from Nicholas D. Kristof ’81-’82. Perhaps journalists and the media feared incarceration, but more likely, it was just the gutless silence we’ve come to know and expect...
...future that not even Amartya Sen can provide: it really is full of pneumatic tubes and you’ll never have to leave your car to do investment banking again.

After he is fired, the new network president (Amanda Peet) persuades former Studio 60 writers Matt Albie (Matthew Perry) and Danny Tripp (Bradley Whitford) to take over and revitalize the show. Complicating...
...have perpetuated or assisted in this tragedy will be held accountable. L. Michael Hager Former Director General International Development Law Organization Washington Israel's response to terrorists is correct. Hamas and Hizballah kidnapped three Israeli soldiers and are holding them until Israel releases its suspected terrorist prisoners. Meanwhile, gutless European nations stand by and accuse Israel of overreacting. If members of your immediate family had been kidnapped and you knew who did it, would you forsake them by standing idly by? Instead of painting Israel as the aggressor, Europeans should be cheering it on in its fight for peace. Herbert...
