...Canon David Anderson: We consider Gene Robinson's election invalid, null and void. It is illegal, in that it violates the moral standards the church has established and uses for the evaluation of who can be a bishop or even a priest. And the time of basically giving a wink and a nod to some people is not acceptable. When those 62 bishops voted, at that moment there was a shattering of the Episcopal church as we know it. The structural disengagement of the church has begun. The question is what will it look like? What will...
...Angeles-based company that staged the show to acclaim there last year and plans to take it on a world tour after its Broadway run. The production "required a whole new vocabulary for me," says director-choreographer Jeff Calhoun. Hearing actors provide surreptitious cues to the deaf ones--a wink or a nudge, worked naturally into the action--to signal when the music starts. The costume designers had to avoid sleeve cuffs or loud patterns that might distract from the signing. The use of props required special attention, since both hands must always be free. "In solving those problems," says...
Britney Spears (whom Beyonce replaced in January as Pepsi pitchwoman) winkingly kept the world up-to-date on her development with I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman. Beyonce doesn't do innuendo, or at least she doesn't do innuendo that's quite so obvious.

Dangerously...
Cars, gross-out jokes, T. and A.--not the most elevated definition of manhood, but Hecht says it's all delivered with a wink. "[Men] know we're buffoons," he says. "We know that we can be made fun of." This notion is of a piece with the have-your-cheesecake-and-eat-it-too approach of men's TV from The Man Show to Coors' "Twins" beer commercials: we'll ironically acknowledge that we're drooling idiots in exchange for getting to look at boobies. But TV marketing coups don't necessarily appeal to viewers' better angels. The women...
Dick Gephardt continued his gradual descent into schizophrenia. He’s so full of “wink-winks” and “nudge-nudges” that ultimately we have no idea what he’s trying to tell us. After years of pussyfooting moderateness in the House, he appeared last month with his behemoth Health Care Plan to End All Health Care Plans (not to mention Bush’s tax-cut plan). Gephardt wants very badly to be Clinton. Clinton had so fully mastered the art of chicanery that we all relished those...
