...trailer for the film, put online earlier this year, stoked fears in von Trier fans of a mainstream sell-out; it "makes it seem, quite shockingly, like an uninspired piece of genre hackwork," wrote Xan Brooks on the Guardian blog. "Surely, that can't possibly be true." It's not. As von Trier has said in an interview with Knud Romer, he wrote Antichrist when he was bedridden by depression, and "I let the film flow to me instead of thinking it up... And because some of the material comes from my youth, it may be unreasonable, ecstatic." If even...
...never know how serious von Trier is. He created the super-austere Dogme 95 style of filmmaking, which was copied by many even as he outgrew and denounced it. His last picture, The Boss of It All, was a comedy with a sour taste, so you can't be sure that Antichrist is as dead-serious as it appears. Maybe the movie is a big deadpan joke, an antic-hrist. What's certain is that serious film people on several continents will be talking about von Trier's latest affront, defending or deriding it, finding it hard to ignore. Short...
...sure, the start-date delays have been a boon for public interest organizations around the country. Research shows that some 80% of legal needs go unmet among low-income Americans, and organizations that serve such clientele, such as the Legal Aid Society, now have their pick of top law school graduates - most of whom will arrive with a paid salary and health benefits attached. But the public-interest groups still have to finance the infrastructure required for an extra person on staff. Many nonprofits have seen their own revenues fall in recent months and undertaken layoffs themselves. Just finding...
Part of the solution is improving hospital care, particularly for fragile preemies - and making sure all moms get equal access. Certainly, the American Medical Association sees things that way. The doctors who write AMA policy are also very clear that hospital care is the only prudent care. In 2008, the AMA passed its much-argued-over Resolution 205, which states flatly that, "the safest setting for labor, delivery and the immediate post-partum period is in a hospital or a birthing center within a hospital." To ensure your newborn's health, in other words, make sure the highest-tech medicine...
...Tellingly, the proposed law doesn't try to tweak those figures. If you go from being a good credit risk to a bad one, credit-card companies can still take steps to make sure they continue to be adequately compensated. When you go to buy new things, they can charge you 30% a year if they want to. The thing they wouldn't be allowed to do under the new law is to go back and change the terms of your original agreement - that is, hike your interest rate on existing balances - except in very few situations, such as your...
