...Decades later, when I edited Film Comment magazine, I spent many hours in that 14th Street walkup shop, trawling through those cramped aisles and groaning shelves for obscure film stills with the help of young Howard Mandelbaum (who now owns Photofest, a premier stills outlet). Irving was dead, but Paula still presided at the front desk, and her son Ira Kramer helped out. If I knew the name Bettie Page in those days, and I couldn't swear to that, I was unaware of the role Paula and her brother had played in the Pinup Queen's career...
...difference between these two Ivy situations rests in the fact that Harvard’s athletes lack an outlet for their concerns. Columbia and other Ivies have active Student-Athlete Advisory Committees (SAAC) that regularly meet with college administrators. Harvard has its own SAAC, but for all its good work gauging athletic concerns, it is only connected to the Athletic Department administrators who have no direct authority over College or student life issues. Harvard’s SAAC has the potential to facilitate athletic concerns, but it has yet to reach its full potential as an intermediary between athletes...
...comedy circles (the three of them lived there until they were hired by SNL and moved to New York City) for eight 3-min. episodes of The 'Bu, a parody of The O.C. in which a troubled ninja kid moves into Malibu. The 'Bu was shown on channel101.com an outlet for unemployed comedy writers and actors.

Still, they kept going out onto the streets with their cameras on unpaid projects...

A few blocks from Shanghai's Bund, a huge American flag dominates the entrance to an outlet selling the 100%-polyester products of the Shanghai Flag and Tent Factory. In the dim interior, soft-spoken salesman Zhang Xinwei says he admires the U.S.'s economic might and its innovative corporations, remarking: "I don't understand why Americans are scared of China's rise - there are so many...
...decided this was the last straw. It instructed the Polish Catholic church to prevent its station from mixing prayer and politics. The trouble for Poland is that Radio Maryja's excesses are a disturbing straw in the wind. The country's new government is using the broadcaster as its outlet of choice in a campaign to "purify" Poland, an effort that has included attacks on critical journalists, on an "alcoholic" civil service, on the former communist "establishment" and on the central bank. This fragrant brew of right-wing populist causes is likely to become more pungent this week, when talks...
