Beyond "almost anything," of course, is violence, and so far there hasn't been a hint of that. On Monday, it was puppetry and pageantry (and a lack of a permit), as the Kensington Welfare Rights Union - a Philly-based organization for the poor and homeless - gathered at City Hall for a trek to the RNC site at the First Union Center in South Philadelphia. Thousands of single-file protesters started down four miles of Broad Street. Placards and banners alternated with chanters ("Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

...politico-sociological moment. She has an unerring sense for the next big thing. In the early 1970s, she wrote one of the first anti-feminist manifestos--The Female Woman, a counterpoint to Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch--anticipating the backlash against feminism before there was a hint of it.

And as long as it does, director Robert Zemeckis' movie goes like a (haunted) house afire--mysterious moans from the heating system, the hint of a stalking presence, even some strange initials on Claire's computer screen. Everyone--especially her gruffly good-natured husband Norman (Harrison Ford)--says Claire is overwrought...
...weekend barbecue recounting the drama of the summit, no matter how many hundreds of millions of dollars the Japanese government is spending on this annual ritual. Instead, I offer the following tidbits that should be immediately inserted into conversation as soon as there is even the slightest hint of any summit talk...
