...Middle Eastern men and trivialization of the role of our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, is not, as Corliss states, that "we've dwelled too long in the crypts of antiscientific dystopia." It is rather that the possession of state-of-the-art high-tech weaponry is the key to the triumph of good over evil, that might makes right, and that combat is just a high-tech video game. The real villains in this film are not the merchants who supply both sides with weapons of mass destruction but filmmakers who are warping the hearts and minds...

Jordan began working for Carter during his first gubernatorial campaign and earned a spot in the future President's inner circle by crafting an audacious blueprint for winning the Oval Office. After Carter's election, Jordan served as a key adviser on both domestic and international affairs, counseling Carter on the Panama Canal treaty and the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. He died at age 63 after a long battle with cancer...
...recipient of the 1955 Nobel Prize for Physics for his work describing the structure of the hydrogen atom, Willis Lamb helped spur the development of key theories underpinning modern physics. Lamb was once a student of the Manhattan Project's Robert Oppenheimer, and Lamb's discovery that different energy levels existed among electrons in hydrogen atoms catalyzed a new understanding of quantum mechanics. His work has also advanced the study of lasers and electromagnetism...
...graceful exit is never easy in a business as fraught with ego and ambition as presidential politics. Which is why in recent days, quiet calls have started going out to key supporters of Hillary Clinton who are showing signs of wanting to jump ship. Clinton's emissaries point out that she is no longer attacking Barack Obama, and they promise she won't start again. Allow her to ride out the last few primaries, they argue, and she won't do anything to make it difficult for her longtime allies to switch their allegiances when the time comes...
...neither of them would give Obama an automatic entrée to crucial voter groups that Clinton won - women, Latinos, older voters, blue-collar whites - and that in many key states have appeared to be beyond his reach. "There is still a lot of enthusiasm and support out there for her," says a leader of a women's activist organization. "It is a valid question where that goes after June 3" - the date of the last Democratic primaries. In that regard, exit polls from her lopsided win over Obama in Kentucky pointed in an ominous direction: only a third...
