...when they spoke of TCM, the FOOF's voices fell into whispered reverence. People scheduled their vacations around it, obsessively taped its movies; there's a clique of Turner Classic Monastics who record, then trade, every premiere of an antique film on TCM. From its airing of films from the rowdy 1930-34 period, a new genre called pre-Code entered the FOOF phrase book along with auteur and film noir. To the faithful, TCM was the Lamborghini, the Mouton Rothschild, the very Callas of movie channels. Eventually, I got to see what all the rapture was about...
Heralded as potentially one of the best first-round series ever by famed Boston-bred sportswriter Bill Simmons after scintillating Game 1, the series has been just that: the single best first-round series ever. It just got the record for most overtimes played in an NBA playoff series in history--in only six games. It has played 7 overtimes, the previous record was 4.

To say that the achievement gap is a persistent and consistent record of misunderstanding and prejudice is an understatement.Beyond the familiar story of educational inequality in the United States, however, lies an additional, suppressed narrative. Although the media have paid much attention to the problems inherent to American public education since the passage of the No Child Left Behind...
...Sonia Sotomayor, 55, of the Second Circuit court of appeals is a strong candidate for a number of reasons. A relative centrist from the Bronx, New York, she is 55 and has a 12-year, highly respected and largely uncontroversial record as a judge. If Obama chose her she would become the first Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court. That's no small consideration. As their numbers have grown in the U.S., Hispanics have become a key target of political competition between the Democrats and Republicans, and many in the community believe it is time for them to be represented...
