There have been times in habitually left-leaning Canada when the suggestion that a politician took money from U.S. conservatives would have been enough to seal victory for the other guy. So when strategists for the ruling Liberal Party unveiled 12 schlock-horror ads last week, three of which linked Harper to "right-wingers in the U.S." (read: the Bush Administration), they may have thought they had pulled off a political masterstroke. Never mind that the charges are at best misleading. This is election time in Canada, and truth gets as much respect as a mouse cornered by a hungry...

To the old-money types and aristocrats that once made up the bulk of the guest list, the present-day event has been diminished by the inclusion of pop singers, politicians, movie stars and even (shock, horror) the odd porn actress. A ban on smoking, instituted at the 2004 ball, has been another blow to the faithful, as has the introduction of contemporary music (nowadays you can boogie and salsa in addition to waltz).

Your collection, "The Best Photos of 2005," serves as a humbling reminder of the fragility of the human condition [Dec. 19]. In juxtaposing our vulnerability to Mother Nature's wrath with our suffering and violence at the hands of fellow human beings, those images of death and destruction do more than etch...
...showed up at comfortable, safe jobs as secretaries, traders and flight attendants. For a brief cultural moment, 9/11 turned average Americans into coal miners; that is, it suddenly became plausible to ask, "If I die today doing this job, will it have been worth it?" But unlike the the horror of 9/11, when millions watched the second plane hit the World Trade Center on live TV, a mine collapse is horrifying for the opposite reason: we see nothing and hear nothing. A group of men is either alive or dead and?in this age of GPS locators, instant messaging...
