...religiously-charged language in public speeches, but his presidency has been far from a “tide of religiosity engulfing a once secular republic,” as the late Arthur Schlesinger Jr. hysterically claimed. In fact, Bush has offered little more than rhetorical support to right-wing causes. Opening government funding to faith-based charities—probably Bush’s most dramatic pro-religion action—hardly marks a biblical deluge...
...other film. Your challenge as a viewer is to make up your own mind and heart. And if you remain unmoved by all the Irish mist in a Ken Loach film, don't think you've hardened into a Darth Vader. Saying no to a weepie, of any wing, is nothing to cry about...
...work at circus impresario Philip Astley’s amphitheater on the outskirts of London. Jem and Maisie, having grown up in a community of thirty families, thus find themselves loosed on the raucous streets of the burgeoning metropolis.The street-smart and scrappy Maggie Butterfield takes Jem under her wing and the two run the gauntlet of 18th-century London’s diversions, singing along to the bawdy songs of hurdy-gurdy players and tasting beer in pubs where flies circle the mugs and idlers hotly debate the increasing radicalism of the revolution in France.They also befriend their neighbor...

Calderon defeated his own left-wing opponent last summer by only half a percentage point, and few countries feel more resentful about Bush's recent snubbing of Latin America than Mexico does. So while Bush rightly considers the free market-minded Calderon his "anti-Chavez" in the region, Calderon knew he could score points with Mexicans...
