...have and how quickly we're losing them in this country," William Kostric later told MSNBC. "It doesn't take a genius to see we're traveling down a road at breakneck speed that's towards tyranny." Kostric, who used to live in Arizona, said he voted for Ron Paul in the last presidential election. He carried a sign saying, "It Is Time to Water the Tree of Liberty," a reference to Thomas Jefferson's quote that "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh...
...substantial risk of putting an innocent man to death clearly provides an adequate justification," wrote Justice John Paul Stevens, in an opinion joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer. "Simply put, the case is sufficiently 'exceptional' to warrant utilization of this Court's" power to intervene from on high.

Ensconced in a beautiful apartment, Julia and Paul eat, make love and eat some more. "French people eat French food every single day!" Julia enthuses...

"What should I do?" she asks him, just one of many moments when Streep's channeling of Child's speech patterns caused me to yelp with pleasure. She ends up at Le Cordon Bleu cooking school and discovers, triumphantly, that she has talent for it. She's also very pleased to defy the expectations of the Cordon Bleu's snooty director (Joan Juliet Buck), who didn't believe an American housewife stood...
