Furthermore, Garcia inaccurately quoted the response to Lydon by Greg Moore, managing editor of The Boston Globe. Moore expressed disdain for Toni Morrison's views, not for Lydon's. And lastly, Lydon did not disagree with a point made by Globe columnist Derrick Z. Jackson, namely that the media tend to portray successful white athletes as intelligent and successful black athletes as physically gifted...
Lydon made the comment that Garcia cites "This country is dealing remarkably well with our reality" during his opening remarks, not in response to Jackson's comments, which came much later. Lydon's point was that thoughtful, intelligent and idealistic people of all races call into his radio program, leading him to believe that the nation was grappling better with race problems than generally given credit...

Liam Neeson dons Jedi gear, Natalie Portman assumes her role as queen, and Samuel Jackson even throws in a oneliner. Leading the cast is Ewan McGregor as the young Obi-Wan-Kenobi (if you think about what Titanic did for DiCaprio, imagine what will happen to indie-film-loving McGregor). Lucas knows that characters--unlike many sci-fi special effects extravaganzas--are the key Star Wars' success. Thus, he casts B-list stars that blend...

...forth and sin no more. The court could start by undoing Microsoft's past bad acts--striking down its coercive contracts with other companies and forcing it to unbundle the Internet Explorer browser that it has built into its Windows operating system. Judge Jackson could then spell out what Microsoft can and can't do in the future. He could personally monitor Microsoft's behavior, much as Judge Harold Greene oversaw AT&T for more than a decade after the breakup of the phone company...
