...between two male penguins titled “And Tango Makes Three.” “Typically, in history, censorship has been frivolously and over-extensively applied,” said Lawrence Buell, the Cabot Professor of American Literature. “You look back in a rearview mirror and it’s embarrassing the results. I wouldn’t say censorship is categorically one hundred percent to be prohibited, but it is to be applied with extreme care.” Jocelyn Chadwick, a former assistant professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education...
...drive home. Say just as you're pulling onto the street, a child on a bicycle crosses in front of you. A few feet later, you feel the thump of a pothole. But what if it wasn't a pothole? Suppose you hit the child. You look in your rearview mirror, and all is clear, but can you be sure? So you circle back around the block. Still clear--except for a lumpy bag of leaves on the curb.

...kick-ass fury in Shrek the Third--launching an army of bluebirds and bunnies at the bad guys to the tune of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song--is more than a brilliant sight gag. It's a relief to parents of girls, with Disney's princess legacy in their rearview mirrors and Bratz dolls and Britney up ahead. It goes hand in hand with a vast genre of empowered-princess books (Princess Smartypants, The Princess Knight) for parents who'd rather their daughters dream of soccer balls than royal balls. As for the boys? Jocks have a rough time...
