Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter (1978). One of the truly great American films and still for my money the best ever made about the war with Vietnam.

I have never added, nor have, any of the plug-ins, extensions mentioned in the article. The security threat, as Fowler states, probably involves many more add-ons and extensions than are mentioned in his report. And neither Mozilla nor Google has a handle on it yet, though Mozilla is trying. Electi...

Grynbaum, Maggie Haberman, Annie Karni and Russ Buettner For the fourth season of “The Apprentice,” Donald J. Trump searched for a gimmick to bolster ratings. His idea was simple if explosive — pit an all-...

I think you're taking the Post story too much at their word . . . . . .

These are specialized utilities that not many use; I certainly don't. I found as many as 4 million people have been leaking personal and corporate secrets through Chrome and Firefox . . . . When we told browser makers Google and Mozilla, they shut these leaks immediately — but we probably identifie...

Richard Linklater's Trilogy: Before Sunrise (1995) Before Sunset (2004) Before Midnight (2013) Nothing much seems to happen to Jesse and Celine over the two decades covered in the films, but a lot happens between them. Each of the screenplays is brilliantly written. Three of my favorite films of all...

LA TIMES The morning after chants of "Send her back" rang across one of his campaign rallies, President Trump sought to disavow it, insisting that he "was not happy with it." Trump made no effort to stop the chants during his rally in North Carolina on Wednesday night. Instead, he paused during the...

. . . a simple message that can connect with enough Democrats — as well as independents, moderate Republicans and suburban women — to win the White House.

Run, Nancy, run.

Not sure about that one. A lot of kings have spent a lot of time in the company of courtesans.

Quite so, but back then the custom was to wait 'til the girl had cut her wisdom teeth.

We don't need the Catholic church

You may not need it but there it is, like it or not.

And it's just as entitled to express its view of the matter as you yours. Far from being imposed on anybody, its teaching has been largely honored in the breach for the past 50 years.

Surely you are not suggesting that the person who once sword danced with Saudi kings is, like the parking-lot madam, "just a boor, an ignoramus, an aberration". That would amount to an act of lèse-majesté.

The Catholic Church is firmly opposed to birth control, but its view of human sexuality is far more nuanced than you would have it. And in hindsight, in a world turned upside down where old farts now far outnumber toddlers, maybe, and maybe instinctively, the Church has been making an important poin...

Protestant churches were against contraception until 1830 , "I suppose because it was sex not for the purpose of procreation." Why else would a religion be against birth control? One can be dead set against contraception yet still maintain that conjugal love serves other purposes besides procreatio...

none are household names

So what's in a name? Schutz and Telemann, to name just two in the Protestant tradition, are both wonderful composers, jejune comparisons to Papa Johann notwithstanding.

Well . . . restrictive to be sure, not entirely. cf the Abbess Hildegard of Bingen (12th century) who wrote liturgival songs and anthems for her choir of nuns in her two abbeys to sing during Mass. No Masses per se for women's voices though. Afaik. that was not permitted. And of course, in mixed-sex...
