...Boy, there are so many of them. I like the Coen Brothers. I like directors who work a lot, who are basically improving constantly. I thought it was a great year for women directors last year. Niki Caro did such an amazing thing with Whale Rider last year. I could sit here forever and name directors. I mean, all the Coppolas. I think Sofia did a spectacular, truly intimate comedy drama, which, I think, is incredibly hard to pull off. In its way, it feels like a real behavior version of a Billy Wilder movie, which is, I think, incredibly...
...troubled relationship between the U.S. and Aristide goes back to well before the most recent spate of political violence. Aristide—a former priest who preaches a brand leftist populism—has long been a whipping boy for conservatives both here, and in his own country. He was deposed by a military coup in 1991, only months after his first election. The brutal regime that followed was characterized by egregious human rights violations.

...people don't always live up or down to the clich?s they are expected to inhabit. Ted's mother Henrietta ("Nettie"), for example, was indeed a mountain ... of maternal devotion.

The project was a nightmare for Geisel, too. "Hollywood is not suited for me," he said when it was over, "and I am not suited for it." He rebelled, futilely, when Kramer insisted that a love interest be added to Geisel's. Geisel hated all the compromises of a studio production, the sapping...
...girls picking on boys? Since December, radio talk-show host and men's-rights activist Glenn Sacks has rallied followers to target a division of the David & Goliath line of clothing, which Sacks claims is antiboy. One T shirt features a cartoon image of a boy running from flying rocks, with text that reads, "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them!" Some stores, including Bon-Macy's, have pulled the shirts. "They are part of a larger trend of male and father bashing," says Sacks. "Stopping the sale of these shirts is an initial blow to the boy-bashing culture...
