Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a lock out at the school where I was teaching; no contract, no negotiations going on. The local judge ordered the school people and the board members locked in the courthouse until agreement was reached. Might not be such a bad idea for the current situation; no vacations, no home time, 3no hunting, no wood chopping, no nothing until this is ended.

Read Jerry Wenstrom's review of Loving.
Rhea and Jordan Devereaux had it all: undying devotion, a tender love, and a grand passion. And then the Vietnam War separated them. Follow the course of their love across time and space. Journey with them through the steaming jungle; dance with the Mardi Gras revelers while revolution unseats Louis XVI and protestors on the Washington Mall scream, Hell, NO. We won't Go. Sail with Laffite's pirates into Devil's Isle and rejoice as an unconditional and timeless love emerges victorious.
