Learning from Polanski, The People Speak, and Copenhagen
December 9, 2009Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland on a 31-year-old statutory rape charge earlier this year, and many Hollywood stars immediately rallied to his defense. Celebrity trials aren't new to us, but the particular ugliness of rape and child abuse still seem to get glossed over when there's a big star standing accused. But do we all learn something from public trials and the public discussions that come in their wake?The F Word: Art World Still Needs Guerrilla Girls
December 9, 2009A new young artists prize was announced recently. Whoopee! In a society that does all too little to encourage those who encourage us to imagine, and think and feel in new ways, a new fund supporting artists, especially young artists, is cause for celebration.Today's Veterans, Micha Kurz and Health Care
November 9, 2009Veterans Day is this week, and the shootings at Fort Hood this week brought to the forefront many questions about soldiers and military personnel: how are soldiers surviving the wars, and readjusting to life at home? What are we doing to help them, and is it enough? With the war in Iraq supposedly winding down and the war in Afghanistan ratcheting up, it's time to take a serious look at some of these questions, and try to understand the role that the military plays in all of our lives.
