...lecture hall is detectable all through this book. (Some passages have more dates than an almanac.) But the juxtaposition of Tristan's and Gauguin's stories is fascinating all the same. In their different ways, both were moralists and proselytizers. Gauguin saw his paintings as pamphlets. His sensual Tahitians and Maori gods, his untamed yellows and greens were ripostes to the attenuated spiritual powers of Europe. His grandmother, meanwhile, was eventually compelled to admit the importance of sex for human happiness, despite her attachment to higher goals. And both were constantly embroiled in fights with the police, clergy and courts...
...because he's in a Montreal hospital bed. So he thunders on about the long-ago killing of "200 million" American natives by European armies--"The greatest holocaust in history happened right here"--and snipes that his businessman son (Stephane Rousseau) "is a puritanical capitalist, while I am a sensual socialist." If Fox News had a left-wing channel in Quebec, Remy would be its Sean Hannity...
...tune called Toxic, during which they blindfold Spears, roll her around the studio on an ottoman and run their hands - among other things - over her half-naked body.

This is the rare concert movie that grips you as fully as a great fiction film. Don’t miss it. Harvard Film Archive, Friday...
...reaction to Chirac’s affection was both priceless, and refreshingly symbolic of the current relationship between Bush’s America and Europe. It combined a puritanical disdain for the swarthy Frenchman’s advances, and an innocent horror at the (for her) overly physical and sensual nature of the gesture. Surely, she thought, this was someone a degenerate like Tipper Gore would adore (after all, she made out with her husband on national television, in front of the children!), but not a mild-mannered librarian and Moral Majoritarian from small-town America...
