...Padre Alberto (Talking With Father Alberto), airs on the conservative Catholic network EWTN (Eternal World Television Network), which was founded by the engaging but dogmatically stern nun Mother Angelica. Last December Cutié blasted Playboy's Mexican edition for what he called a "blasphemous" cover photo that depicted a model as the Virgin Mary. On his shows on the Radio Paz (Radio Peace) network and in his columns and books, like Ama de Verdad, Vive de Verdad (Real Love, Real Life), Cutié usually toes the Vatican's doctrinal line on issues like abortion...
...dying of cancer - she broke her hip and received a hip replacement from Medicare. "I don't know how much that hip replacement cost," Obama told the New York Times, and he questioned whether giving people "a hip replacement when they're terminally ill is a sustainable model." This is the most sensitive health-care issue imaginable.

Part of the answer is implicit in the electronic medical-records system that Obama has proposed...

Two of the women represented the labia while one represented the clitoris. “Now how does an orgasm happen?” Locker asked the audience. She answered by patting the head of the girl playing the clitoris, who then jumped up and down...
...DVDs. Maybe there is a business model: Feltenstein uses the network to promote the classic DVD collection, and vice versa. The video stores and Netflix are groaning with TCM collections, the best being three editions of Forbidden Hollywood, multipacks of Warner and MGM films from the pre-Code era that TCM helped revive. (Must-buy: Vol. 3, with a half-dozen rough diamonds directed by William A. Wellman.) Last month TCM began offering personalized movies: you choose a title from a list of films that haven't yet made it to DVD, pay about $15, and get one of these...
