...what Europeans believe, and their laws allow. Right? Well, actually, no. In general, European law favors the right to say and publish unpopular, even hateful things. But not in every case or every country. In Germany, you can go to prison for up to three years for mass-producing Hitler's picture or displaying a single likeness in a way that glorifies him, or for denying the Holocaust. In France last year, the Roman Catholic Church got a judge to ban an advertisement modeled on Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper that depicted everyone but Judas as a woman...

...political system that does not denigrate man’s dignity. While many in America are content to smirk at Europe’s failures, or take some measure of pleasure in its impending collapse, we should all pray and hope that the continent that gave us not only Hitler and Stalin but also Beethoven, Bach, Locke, and Kant can save itself from its accelerating descent into inconsequence...

U.S. leaders learned that pure research like atomic and electromagnetic physics, combined with massive government funding, could lead to dramatic breakthroughs in military technology. Because the Soviet Union almost immediately became just as ominous a threat as Nazi Germany had been, Congress created the National Science Foundation in 1950 to fund basic and applied science, mostly at universities, "to promote...

...Politics will make this category faascinating. Sophie Scholl, a very good film on a safe subject (the German student who defied Hitler's Reich and died for her bravery), is up against Paradise Now, a very good film on an incendiary subject (a Palestinian suicide bomber). Three years ago, the exemplary satire Divine Intervention was denied a Foreign Film nomination because Palestine, whence the film originated, was deemed "not a country." That rule was changed, and there's a distinct possibility that on Oscar night the winner will be "from the Palestinian Authority." Can Hamas' election victory scuttle a movie...
