...obvious that there is a correlation. It is also true that his point has been made a good many times before. The charges are of course serious, but then, so are the counterarguments, none of which he responds to. The Journal must have been having a slow news day. Either that, or Rupert was tweaking the newsroom. Well, it’s time we get grandpa up to speed. The problem is not that internationalists and communists have infiltrated the university, but that, quite simply, everyone has a different opinion on what ought to be required. Say you asked...
...portrayal of India, with its desolate yet rich scenery, is also particularly adept. In a telling directorial move, Anderson almost incorporates the three alienated brothers, wearing “tilak” marks on their foreheads and flowers around their necks, into the foreign landscape. The careful pairing of slow-motion shots with music—one of Anderson’s many filmmaking signatures—is especially effective here. The opening uses the technique to give the film its name, showing Brody rush past Bill Murray’s character to catch a train?...

And with weeks to go before the October 20 primary, and no big-name Democrat in the race - New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin and former U.S. Senator John Breaux both stepped aside after toying with the idea of running - many here are betting that Jindal will get the 50%-plus...
...Astonishingly, until the first of the race's three debates last week, the issue of the slow recovery of New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana has been largely absent from the campaign. Nagin, who endorsed Jindal the last go-round, said recently that he was waiting for a sign before throwing his support behind a candidate. "I've talked to just about all of them," he said.
