...these two guys who are in love, the crazy antics that they do, and the events that they go through in their lives. I love the comedy that we’ve found, and there are moments when people burst into song in the first act that just are smart and funny. And then there’s this very serious second act where you can’t even, sometimes, believe it’s the same show, that they’re the same people."Aside from the work’s power in tactfully navigating the comic...
...cannot recall reading an article as arrogant, opaque, and simply wrongheaded as Adaner Usmani’s “Against Leadership” (oped, Oct. 4). Cloaked in prolix academic phraseology, his main point, as best as my feeble mind can grasp it, seems to be that smart people shouldn’t act as such, or shouldn’t have their opinions count, or should actively ignore their own opinions and, instead, agree to abide by the opinions of less-intelligent, less educated, and less successful people. All of this is, of course, is pursuit...
...using steroids will eventually be forgiven. But even now, it seems, Jones is trying to have it both ways, resorting to the Barry Bonds defense that she didn't know the flaxseed oil her coach was giving her was actually the steroid known as "the clear." Jones is too smart for that, and given all her lies of the past, it's not as if we have any reason to believe...
...Moneypenny, the down-to-earth British intelligence secretary in the first 14James Bond films--required fewer than 200words and less than 60minutes onscreen over 23years. But she made the role unforgettable. Starting in 1962's Dr. No, she was the definitive un-Bond girl: the smart, cute assistant who spurned Bond's advances, knowing he would break her heart, yet lit up when he entered the room. Many "hoped [Bond] would end up with her," said Maxwell, "because all the other women were so two-dimensional. She was real." Maxwell...
...break the world of its fossil-fuel habit--and China and India will never sign on to caps that could limit economic growth. Instead, Nordhaus and Shellenberger argue for Apollo-program-style government investment in clean-energy research, on the order of $30 billion a year. It's a smart, if not wholly original idea--not least because it would allow greens to frame climate change as an inspiring challenge, not just a pending catastrophe. And that's a contrarian position that just might help win the climate wars...
