...Obama defeat would be greeted with a loud sucking of the teeth and a deepening of self-doubt. A loss would be hugely disappointing, and to put it crudely, it would also be more of the same. But it is also true that the biggest change has already taken place. The Obama campaign has been the anti--O.J. trial, a 24-hour ongoing drama about a black man cast not as a problem but, potentially, as the solution...

Actor Michael Cera has been that kid, first in “Arrested Development,” next in “Superbad,” and then in “Juno.” In his latest movie, “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist,” Cera gives hope to the socially inept as he reprises his well-established role as the charmingly goofy, pubescent boy who somehow manages...
