From Michael Winship at Truthout Andrew Bacevich: America and the World.
Should citizens have an input on foreign policy decisions since they will be the ones who have to live with those decisions? Should we actually teach real history so our citizenry is prepared to make those decisions from a rational rather than an uniformed position? We have much to think about as a nation if we want to preserve our Constitution and its promise. Inherent in that document is a balance of power that is being shifted way out of balance and that needs to be corrected, by us.

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.
