...viewers alienated by liberal news, needs to figure out its next act. Fox News is not simply a mouthpiece for the Bush White House: it rose with Bush after 2000 and 9/11, was played on TVs in his White House and reflected the same surety and flag-lapel-pin confidence in its tone and star-spangled look. It was not just a hit; it was the network of the moment...
...Back in 1969, the U.S. had joined the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, part of which requires countries to give arrested foreigners access to consular officials, as in the movies when a pin-striped diplomat soothes a worried American in some Third World dungeon. The Administration renounced that part of the treaty after the ICJ ruled Medellin should get a retrial. (The U.S. still abides by the parts of the Treaty governing immunity for embassy officials and sovereignty of embassy buildings.)

On the plus side, shareholders need not fret about atrophying taste or succession.

By 1985, Hugo...
...witty as an Oscar Wilde play, but ends up too cliché to rise to its own challenge. Harry’s disappointment with his married life drives him into the arms of Kay (Rachel McAdams, “Mean Girls”), a widow with a pin-up girl’s physique and a Goethe-like conception of love. In an act of imprudence, Harry introduces Kay to Richard, who is single and handsome. Richard decides that Kay is his next conquest. The plot twists, turns, and thickens with every scene. Sensitive Harry believes that if he were...
