...greedily, by a rapacious, besotted Japanese general (in her last starring role, Lady from Chungking). But, so often, directors sidled up to the big smooch, then found an excuse to abort it, as with the white Fletcher and the Asian Hayakawa in Daughter of the Dragon and with Loder in Java Head. Decades after her death, the poet John Lau wrote a verse titled "No One Ever Tried to Kiss Anna May Wong." That's not quite true; the poem's title should be "Everyone Tried to Kiss Anna May Wong But Hardly Anyone...

As MTV’s Kurt Loder argues, Jackson never should have allowed children to share his bed. I don’t find this act nearly as repulsive as Loder, who writes, “Any 45-year-old man who regularly goes to bed with pubescent boys… is appalling.” Have we really become so sterile and mechanical that any expression of affection between adults and children must...

Hydrologists say a lined lake generally loses less water from evaporation than a lawn of comparable size, since grass consumes soil water while losing moisture through its blades--meaning the more than 100 golf courses in the area deserve equal scrutiny. "The lake looks wasteful," Loder says, "but it uses half the water a date grove would use, and I've attracted high-end buyers whose money feeds the local economy." Loder's completed project could add more than $1 million in property taxes, so supporters contend...
