Based on the novel by Philip Roth, The Human Stain follows Silk through four major stages of self-identification: anger, denial, acceptance and confession. It’s not Faunia who reveals Silk’s secrets to us, however, but the reticent Nathan Zuckerman (Gary Sinise), a reclusive writer whom Silk coaxes back to literary life. Part investigative journalist, part close friend, it is this would-be biographer who tells his story, discovers the truth behind Silk’s carefully engineered identity, and decides to write a book about Silk’s twisted and difficult journey from...
...Oval Office address to the nation following the attacks, President Bush spoke of a “quiet, unyielding anger” toward the people who could have done such a thing. I felt that anger, as we all did.

And they are alienating poor farmers like Abdel Fattah Naef, who once maintained lush orchards in a town 60 miles...
...something resembling a personality under that thick skin. Hopeless though his candidacy may be, Al Sharpton will probably charm the crowd tonight. And Dean is certainly charming New Hampshire—largely because voters think he isn’t hesitating to let his personality (some would say anger) show through. If the Democratic establishment wants to reclaim the initiative, they ought to be willing to shoot from the hip once in a while; it’s worked wonders for Republicans lately...
