...reviews for her performance in "Casino," showing that she can now be taken seriously as an female actor. Remember, lots of media exposure can help in the awards race, so Stone's March "Vanity Fair" cover article could give her a push. Stone has also been described, as a tireless campaigner. Plus, she won the Golden Globe for best female actor--the Golden Globes used to be considered laughable, but they have slowly gained respect because they often predict the Oscar winners. Since 1989, the Golden Globes have been 75 percent correct in predicting the Oscars in the four acting...

No country is born both free and rich. The process of attaining both goals took America more than 100 years. There is a trade-off here and there is a price...
...Priscilla Painton, the Nation section's indefatigable senior editor. Her mandate stretches from coast to coast; the campaign, and for that matter politics, is only one of the many stories that fall under her watch. Juggling it all, while meeting journalism's unforgiving deadlines, calls for mental rigor and tireless curiosity--something Painton has in abundance. "She has an unerring sense about where the real story is," says chief of correspondents Joelle Attinger. "She's always pushing the envelope to know more...
