...raise—how politics was shaped to some extent by pop culture—is an important one,” said Jeanne Shaheen, director of the IOP and former governor of New Hampshire. Beginning with its first cover, George courted controversy.

CNN political analyst and George contributor Paul Begala also sat on the panel, and scheduled panelists Judy Woodruff from CNN’s Inside Politics...
Google the name of “Thomas Lenk” and you’ll find that he’s a 29-year-old actor who plays the geeky, James Bond-obsessed, ambiguously-gay character of Andrew Wells on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” But visit the Busch-Reisinger Museum and you’ll find that Lenk, a German sculptor born in 1933, is one of the seven artists whose work will be on display until February 26 as part of the museum’s ongoing exhibit, “Stratification...

Now he's used her Chinese-American culture as the springboard for the story of a sarcastic 11-year-old who is the Te Xuan Ze, the protector of humanity from supernatural villains. It's a little derivative of Buffy the Vampire Slayer--O.K., a lot--but Juniper has its own clever twists; for instance, only she can see her monster enemies. Let it never be said nothing good came out of reality...
