...Professor of Law Charles J. Ogletree, Jr. “They are a metaphor for a flawed system.” Ogletree is also the director of the law school’s Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice and the narrator of the film. Derrick Z. Jackson, a panelist and op-ed columnist for the Boston Globe, said he agreed with the film’s contention that the media unfairly portrays minorities. Jackson cited a 1994 study of Chicago TV stations, which found that African-Americans accused of crime were two times as likely as whites...
...is—SPARTA!” I feel as though my balls have been ripped off. And I like it. Black Snake Moan Celluloid Gold This is two minutes and twenty five seconds of pure, hard-core, home-cooked, old, weird Americana. An overweight Samuel L.

...sophisticated scientific analysis has raised questions about the authenticity of three paintings attributed to Jackson Pollock, Harvard researchers reported this week.

The network will have a five-second delay for this year's halftime show, which the NFL is also reviewing ahead of time more carefully...
...comment on steps the network is taking to make sure a dirty crowd shot snafu doesn't happen again. In any event, the FCC isn't likely to do anything until a federal appeals court rules on the FCC's new indecency enforcement policy, fueled in part by Jackson's breast-baring show. That policy, which would impose fines for certain types of graphic profanity, is being challenged by the major networks, including Fox. More crowd shots like the one during the Eagles-Saints game probably won't help their case...
