...physical attack that destroyed buildings and people, and a symbolic attack that destroyed the myth of invincibility,” Faludi said. The nation as a whole then turned to a mythical frontier past to cover its post-9/11 vulnerabilities with the idea that men are the rugged, fearless superheroes and women are their frail counterparts in need of rescue, she said.This idea dates back to King Philip’s War, a conflict between American settlers and Native Americans in the 1670s, Faludi said. According to her, it was a time in which pre-revolutionary Americans were forced...
...showcase the latest work of one world-class photojournalist, we remember another who is no longer with us. Alexandra Boulat, who passed away in Paris on Oct. 5, was frequently on assignment for Time. As fearless as she was talented, she covered wars in the former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Palestinian territories, where she suffered a brain aneurysm last June. She had a gift for capturing the condition of societies, especially women, caught in bloody conflicts. I particularly recommend her multimedia piece on Palestinian rappers and her powerful first-person account of a riveting photo-essay from Gaza--both...
...records this opinion with a certain amount of dismay. I happen to think Sean Penn is one of our more admirable knotheads - a fearless actor, a bold controversialist and, as he proved with The Pledge, a very strong director, capable of far subtler moral complexity than Into the Wild affords.

In 2006 the brusque newsman, known for his fearless field reporting and mysterious metaphors, finally left the anchor chair, ending his 44-year career at the network. His reputation was tainted after he oversaw a 60 Minutes report on George W. Bush's National Guard service that was later discredited. Now Rather is suing CBS and three of its top executives for $70 million, claiming the company made him a "scapegoat...
...rabbi's son, Mazuz, 52, has long had a reputation for being a fearless and impartial enforcer of the law. It was an attitude that Israelis treasured, since they are convinced - not without reason - that the highest ranks of government are infested with sleaze and corruption. Mazuz won respect for indicting ex-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's son for corruption in 2005, and for urging the resignation of Israel's Justice Minister in 2006 for forcefully kissing a young female soldier. Mazuz has also been investigating Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for allegedly suspect property deals; Olmert strenuously denies the allegations...
