...Jesus film with violence is bound to roil some people. But the film's carnage is emetic, not exploitative. The crowning with thorns, the scourging at the pillar, the agonized trudge up Calvary show what Jesus suffered and why; and James Caviezel's spiky, ferocious, nearly heroic performance is a perfect servant to the role. This is not a movie for all believers - or for all moviegoers. But it is, nonetheless, a believer's movie. Gibson believes in the power of Jesus' message.

...Jesus film with sex and violence is bound to roil the faithful. For Scorsese, though, these elements are bold colors on the canvas, images of the life Jesus must renounce and redeem.

For years, Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have talked about improving oversight of hedge...

He has used his mouthful of a title--Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services for Children and Families--to crusade for the government to take a more active role in promoting marriage. Horn believes that sustaining marriages is moral and cost efficient. Nearly three-fourths of children in single-parent families will experience poverty by age 11, vs. about one-fifth of children in two-parent families. Children from intact families are less likely to give birth out of wedlock or get in trouble with the law--both...
