...Netflix Instant [May 12]. Despite the fact that I don't subscribe to HBO or Showtime, I have watched all Sopranos episodes and two seasons of Weeds, have caught up on early episodes of 30 Rock, old movies and myriad other programs. Who needs a TV, indeed? Liz White, LOS ANGELES...
...Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Best known for the 2003 success Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order, Kagan recently made news as a major influence behind John McCain's most ambitious foreign-policy address to date, delivered in late March in Los Angeles.

("If we're insane," says Amy Ryan as a prostitute subjected to electroshock therapy for her outspokenness, "nobody has to listen to us.") Her only ally is a preacher and radio crusader, Gustav Briegleb (John Malkovich...
Race is an unavoidable factor on most of L.A.'s school campuses, where such outbreaks have occurred occasionally in recent years - though rarely involving such numbers. There is ongoing debate about how much tension between the races plays a role. Activist Earl Ofari Hutchinson of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable called for black and Latino students join in a "Unity Day" against violence, saying L.A. school officials had failed for too long to act to quell tensions between the groups. "That failure is a prescription for continuing disaster," Hutchinson said...
