...Maybe we haven?t seen quite that many movies recently about pregnant single women. It probably just seems that in the past year virtually every romantic comedy has been about some waitress named Juno getting knocked up. And she didn?t plan to get pregnant, doesn?t really want the baby, but because she has a strong will and nurturing instincts she?ll never-ever give it up. Practically the funniest thing about these movies is the sociopolitical spin Hollywood implants in them: that accidental motherhood is the new feminism...
After Kowalcky’s presentation, the BRA’s new director of planning Kairos Shen took the floor to present the draft of the city’s scope for Harvard’s master plan. He emphasized what the BRA saw as the need for the University to integrate its new structures with the community around them and the necessity of increasing residents’ access to public open spaces...
...last days of the Pennsylvania campaign, Obama made a halfhearted attempt to go negative. He ran ads distorting Clinton's health-care plan, claiming that it would force everyone to get health insurance (true), even if they couldn't afford it (false).

His delivery of the kitchen-sink line was droll, but the rest of the tour was surprisingly soporific. He seemed...
...commuter flights that arrive and depart each day. But while passenger traffic has dropped 80% in the past decade, there is no lack of noise around the airport, which Adolf Hitler built in the late 1930s as a grandiose portal to his thousand-year Reich. The city's plan to close Tempelhof to air traffic later this year and turn it into a public park has run into unexpected turbulence from a coalition of leading businessmen, conservative politicians and urban nostalgists. In a referendum scheduled for April 27, Berliners will get a chance to weigh in on the fate...
...Tempelhof's past has long since faded. As an underused commuter airport, it lost about $15 million last year. Shutting it down is a key part of Social Democratic Mayor Klaus Wowereit's plan to consolidate Berlin's three city airports into one by 2012. Proposals for repurposing the 890 acres (360 ha) in the heart of the capital range from establishing a German version of Central Park to turning it into grazing land for buffalo (really). Opponents gathered enough signatures in a citywide petition to trigger the referendum on the closure. Backed by prominent German businessmen, they...
