...Alberto Cutié made an attractive poster boy for the Roman Catholic Church: he's young, telegenic and the host of a popular Miami radio show. But since photos surfaced on May 5 showing the priest dubbed Padre Oprah frolicking with an attractive young woman, he's become a reluctant part of the centuries-old debate over clerical celibacy...
...made in 1978 by pulp journeyman Enzo G. Castellari, one of many vigorous imitators of the Leone Westerns. Bastards ripped off Robert Aldrich's 1967 WW II hit The Dirty Dozen, reducing the all-star 12 to a more manageable and economic five. "Whatever the Dirty Dozen did," the poster reads, "they do it dirtier!" It starred the American actors Fred Williamson and Bo Svenson, to whom Tarantino gives a cameo as a U.S. Army colonel.

Hurricanes and housing busts have already battered South Florida's image as an earthly paradise.

In Antonioni's modernist adventure, the central mystery of a missing girl was never solved. We hope that all the enigmas of Cannes...
...Fifteen years later, Roiphe’s criticisms still ring true. At Harvard, administrators who have attempted to inject a similar dose of reality into the sexual violence debate have been ridiculed. As noted by Sahil K. Mahtani ’08, a seemingly anomalous one-time poster to MenSpeakUp.org, when former College Dean Harry R. Lewis ’68 encouraged female undergraduates to walk with companions late at night, he was accused of “blaming the victim...
