...initiation. The surprise initiation called for all first-year guys—roughly two-thirds of the team—to come to the front of the bus, introduce themselves, tell some little-known personal facts, and then delve into an acapella version of a song of their choosing. Horrid versions of Kenny Chesney and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme, all the way to my own animated rendition of Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing, allowed guys to let down their guards and get a better feel for one another.Though these bus trips may seem...
...soldiers and Guardsmen come home from Iraq seeking treatment at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, Brooke in San Antonio and veterans' hospitals nationwide. Three years since the start of the war, the toll of seriously wounded from Iraq exceeds 7,600--men and women without limbs, with horrid burns, with brain damage, all of them dealing with the psychological scars of war. Braddock is just one of at least 345 who have had amputations--a higher rate per injury than in any other modern U.S. war. Most survivors, like Braddock, are left to pick up the pieces...
...Every day we see things that offend us. Yet just because I find something distasteful, backward, or inane does not mean it is racist, immoral, or unlawful.

When wealthy Great Aunt Adelaide (Angela Lansbury) tells the broke Mr. Brown he must marry or will lose her financial assistance, he settles on Ms. Quickly (Celia Imrie), a horrid social climber. The children and Nanny McPhee must band together to rid themselves of these two terrors. The film is extremely visually arresting; its creative team dresses the characters in brightly colored clothes and perfectly fills the Brown house with quirky clutter. Both Lansbury and Staunton give gamely over...
...Unfortunately, though, as one goes through the book, a distinct malodor of misogyny begins to build. All the main characters are men, most of who have horrid relationships with shrewish wives or girlfriends. This theme reaches its nadir in the depressing story titled "Bedridden," about a woman we never see and who never speaks, hidden under the bed covers since she has somehow been "re-shaped to please men" as a sex slave. The twist of the story - that men kill each other to become her "master" - doesn't make up for such a nasty premise. To be fair...
