...Your reporters bent over backward to create some religious Americana that has a special place in the Pope's heart. We're plain talkers, not afraid to wade into deeply divisive theological and moral questions and yet always cognizant of our spiritual grounding harking back to this country's origins. The truth is that the previous Pope and the handpicked bishops that rule the dioceses have driven out any plain talkers. That was all done with the iron hand of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger behind the scenes as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He wants...
...Stark's convoy of humvees is attacked following a weapons demonstration. Insurgents hold him captive in a cave and demand that he build them a devastating weapon. Instead, Stark builds himself a suit of armor with a new sense of purpose. "Tony Stark goes through a bit of a moral reawakening in this movie," Favreau says-a character arc that tipped the casting in Downey's favor.

It wasn’t until sophomore fall when I received a Facebook message inviting me to comp The Darker Side, WHRB’s hip-hop department, that I began participating in the frantic extracurricular whirl...
...Aspen Institute in Colorado. A colleague says Brown has a huge appetite for American history and politics, routinely stocking up in bookstores on Washington's Dupont Circle. (Though a man of the left, Brown has broad tastes: a bathroom in his house contains a well-thumbed copy of Moral Judgment, by James Q. Wilson, a favorite of U.S. conservatives.) In private, he can be delightful company. Australian novelist Kathy Lette says "there's a loving, frivolous side of him," and describes a surprise party Brown organized for his wife Sarah that started with Lette and other female friends including...
