...host of discrepancies in her assertions about the investigation into abuses of power during her tenure as governor; her campaign's unprecedented demand for "deference" from a free press before answering questions - all paint a portrait of a woman who believes she has it all figured out. Scott Kenyon, Vienna, Virginia...
...Irish art outside a conventional gallery - and it's constantly evolving as proprietor Lochlann Quinn makes fresh purchases. The explosive color and intensity of nudes by Irish Post-Impressionist Roderic O'Connor, a close friend of Gauguin's, contrast strikingly with the simplified shapes and subtle lighting in William Scott's kitchen-implement still lifes.

They believe that when disaster strikes, everyone's a victim...
...Deal know that the best documentaries reveal politics through personalities. In the gritty, buoyant Kim they found a person who symbolized both the lower depths of urban life and the resilience, when faced with an impossible challenge, to rise to a level higher than flood tide. Maybe Kim, Scott and their crew were no angels before Katrina, but that doesn't matter--because in Trouble the Water, we see the lives of the saints...
