...Alas poor, naive Florence Marr (Greta Gerwig) has no walls, no boundaries, no protective gear at all. She works as personal assistant to Roger's brother and sister-in-law, doing odd jobs and taking care of their German Shepherd, Mahler. She'll even do errands for Roger, who doesn't drive (an act of civil disobedience in L.A.). Florence is sloppily generous with her body - sleeping, it seems, with whoever asks - and at the same time is afraid to ask for much for herself, even her overdue paycheck. Whenever she has to merge into traffic, she mutters a timid...
...outside the mainstream. Which may explain why on several issues, Paul is edging toward the center: Pure libertarians, he says, believe the market should dictate policy on nearly everything from the environment to health care. Paul has lately said he would not leave abortion to the states, he doesn't believe in legalizing drugs like marijuana and cocaine, he'd support federal drug laws, he'd vote to support Kentucky's coal interests and he'd be tough on national security...

For their part, Republicans have previously used the simple-majority reconciliation process many times to pass legislation, even as they vilify Senate Democrats for trying to use the same procedure to make changes to the health bill they...
...German-born Benedict XVI, even as his countrymen demand that he respond directly. "The Pope was not part of what happened back then, and he shouldn't be part of it now," a Vatican insider tells TIME. "He should offer the greatest silence possible, not because he doesn't care about the abuse but because it would involve him in scandal and undermine his magisterium" - that is, his papal teaching authority. Indeed, the officials at the Vatican have characterized the German revelations as a targeted campaign to discredit the Church as a whole...
...holiday is so sensitive that the opposition doesn't want to be anywhere near accusations that it is fomenting unrest during its celebration. The so-called Green Movement leadership actually asked its followers not to target the day for protest, as has been done with Muslim holy days and the anniversaries of important dates in the Islamic revolution led by the late Ayatullah Khomeini. The blowback would be worse for opposition leaders like Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karoubi if they were seen as promoting demonstrations during a festival from the days before Iran converted to Islam. No one wants...
