...Ben’s ex-wife. Excluding De Niro, the rest of the star-studded cast is barely ever seen. Sean Penn is a major disappointment and only appears on screen for five minutes—which is just long enough for him to get shot, roll down a hill, and be shot again. De Niro’s acting, which normally dominates the screen with its intensity, is flat and lackluster. He seems to want his character to be stony and cold, but instead comes off as indifferent and detached. Perhaps De Niro has just made one too many...
...this context, it made sense to think, and speak, of "American leadership." If you were an American policymaker in 1945, you did not actually need to make a moral claim to leadership. You did not need to argue that because America was an idea, a city on a hill, the last, best hope of mankind, it had a right and responsibility to remake the world. It was much simpler than that.

...Cuba's petro fortunes as justification for opening more of America's coastline to oil production. Recent polls in U.S. coastal states like Florida support that idea, despite environmentalist complaints that both U.S. and Cuban offshore rigs will foul the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, embargo proponents on Capitol Hill have sponsored bills that would, among other sanctions, deny visas to the executives of foreign oil companies that drill oil in Cuba. Their reasoning: the more oil wealth Havana gains, the less incentive it has to pursue democratic reform...
