...Honoring Lives Lost After reading "One Day in Iraq," I hope the American people never forget the pain of war [June 4]. What a sad day for the U.S. and the families of these young men. Aureliano De La Torre said, "Now that my son is gone, there is a vacancy in Iraq. Maybe the President would like to send one of his daughters over there to continue to fight in Jesse's place." Let us not forget that Bush himself passed on the chance to fight in a war. After reading the stories of these six men, it seems...

...These reflections are occasioned by the arrival from France of La Vie En Rose, a biopic about the gifted, fragile and intermittently insane chanteuse Edith Piaf. Writer-director Olivier Dahan, has given her story a sumptuous production - with the look of an old-fashioned Hollywood musical sob story - as well as a maddeningly fragmented structure. For reasons best known to Dahan, he is always cutting from Piaf (played by Marion Cotillard) at the height of her relatively brief life (she was discovered in 1935 and died, at age 47, in 1963) to this or that aspect of her dismal past...
