...movies, musicals and yes, academic works (though Hillary's dissertation sounds as if it were written by Camille Paglia 30 years ago). But here the homage, meant to intrigue, keeps interfering with the compelling, modern story about a child who needs help but isn't getting it. Barnz's intent isn't always clear. For instance, are all the adults in the movie meant to be as unhinged, baffling incomprehensible and irritating as the guests at the Mad Hatter's tea party? That's how Clarkson and Campbell Scott, as Phoebe's principal, seem to be playing...
...blend of passion and spontaneity.Formed in 1989, Squawk is the brainchild of poet Richard Cambridge, cartoonist and poet Mick Cusimano, actress Jesse Piaia, and performer Lee Kidd. Squawk began as a way for artists and poets to enhance their artistic experiences and has essentially remained faithful to its original intent. “Some of us came from the 60s tradition and studied the Beat Generation,” said Cusimano, who along with the other founders still actively performs and manages Squawk two decades later. “We saw things they did and tried to take...

...several Judeo-Christian societies have condoned assisted suicide in recent years. Australia legalized it in 1995, only to rescind the law two years later. The Netherlands and Switzerland have decriminalized the practice, paving the way for a British man named Craig Ewert to travel to Zurich in December 2008 intent on taking his life. Ewert's journey and death were broadcast on British television. Although British law makes it illegal to help someone commit suicide, authorities have opted not to prosecute Ewert's wife and others who have helped loved ones travel abroad for the express purpose of committing suicide...
