Many people have opined on a Slate article, penned by The Crimson’s own Lucy M. Caldwell ’09, that exposed Caroline R. Giuliani ’11’s membership in a Barack Obama Facebook group. Bloggers and anonymous commenters have debated the nature of Facebook, politicians’ families’ right to privacy, and other topics of legitimate discussion. But in the midst of this, a number of people viciously mocked Caldwell for lisping during a television interview. While some moralists among these bloggers deemed many of the jabs against Caldwell...

At its inception in the '70s, it was called the Festival of Festivals, and that name still applies: all kinds of genres, dozens of national cinemas, play to an equally diverse audience.
