...blue-blood heritage and the fears he stirs up among liberals. TIME's story was no exception. Will Abe act like a hawk or a dove toward Japan's neighbors? The media like to stereotype politicians, especially those with mystique. But let's remember U.S. President Richard Nixon. He began his career as a crusading anticommunist but turned out to be the statesman who reached out to the Soviet Union and Red China. My concern is not whether Abe will patch things up with Japan's neighbors but how he will resuscitate the economy to revive Japan. Although...
...knows that better than the Republicans, who from Richard Nixon through the Willie Horton episode have campaigned as the law-and-order party. Now they face a backlash from the same culture of fear and suspicion they benefited from before. Casting yourself as the answer to an "assault" on children isn't just a means of getting votes; it can also justify power grabs.

The online supermarket Fresh Direct is posting the shopping lists of some of its famous customers, including director SPIKE LEE (Lactaid milk, Pringles, Granny Smith apples), Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon (truffle oil, Pop-Tarts, swordfish steaks) and model Paulina Porizkova (rotisserie chicken, Milano cookies, Jarlsberg cheese). The lists are not comprehensive; no toiletries, alas. Plus, the site does not guarantee that if you buy the star's groceries, you'll get the star's life...
...President isn't that conspiratorial. Rather, it's in a long line of movies that imagine the death or near-death of political royalty - from the French film, The Assassination of the Duc de Guise, which was all the rage of 1908, to The Assassination of Richard Nixon, which mixed archival footage with Sean Penn acting up a maelstrom. That movie came and went without much outrage two years ago, as did the 1954 drama Suddenly with Frank Sinatra as a psycho waiting for a shot at the President as he passes through a small town.
