...Your special issue on the Republicans bent over backward to present McCain as an honorable man, but the transcript of your bizarre interview, in which McCain refused to answer simple and legitimate questions, was frightening. It showed a resentful, uncommunicative and un?cooperative McCain who was uncomfortable with the straight talk he used to be known for and who had a chip on his shoulder the size of a sequoia. Such a volatile temperament renders him ?unfit to have his finger anywhere near the Button. Lee Otterholt, Laguna Beach, California...

The director sat down with TIME's Jeffrey T. Iverson on the eve of The Fly's world premiere in Paris this summer to talk about the hidden complexities of the horror genre, the challenges facing modern opera...
...summation, part stand-up, swept swing voters into his arms and danced. He told McCain's heroic story yet again, but this time it was to set up a relentless contrast to the Ivy League guy who rose through Chicago-machine politics to reach the state legislature and vote "present" 130 times because "deciding 'yes' or 'no' was too tough" on his way to becoming a "celebrity Senator" who "has never led anything. Nothing. Nada." By the end Giuliani was ignoring the teleprompter, riffing his speech, eating into Palin's prime time, and the crowd loved...
