...show is also stark and up front about the cost of years of war--starker, in a way, because the focus is on the families left behind. Pamela (Brigid Brannagh)--whose husband is about to ship off for duty--becomes a surrogate mother to keep the family afloat (a reminder of how stretched military families often are). Roland (Sterling K. Brown) deals with his returned-vet wife's drinking and post-traumatic stress disorder. Denise (Catherine Bell) waits anxiously after her husband's Blackhawk crashes in Iraq.

What didn't change was Hollywood's view of the sexes: that men are defined by their exploits, women by their emotions. In a movie...
...number of people in New Orleans who were granted permits to carry a concealed weapon more than doubled, to 85, over the same period in 2005 - before Katrina, when the city's population was by most estimates at least twice what it is today. The increase was even starker in neighboring Jefferson Parish, where concealed weapon permit applications shot...
