From tragedy to farce
Todd Gitlin
He's running for president as an independent, not as a Green. He has no organization. He's starting late. Does Ralph Nader's narcissism have no bounds?
Dashed against the rocks
Cary Tennis
I'm in love with a siren who lured me and is now destroying me.
“Those Who Trespass” by Bill O’Reilly

In an interview (with himself) the man who introduced us to the term "metrosexual" explains why it conquered the culture, bemoans his own "lesbosexual" style, and critiques "Queer Eye," Howard Dean and Schwarzenegger.
“The Human Stain”
Charles Taylor
Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman team up for a decent, sincere big-screen fable -- but the scourging fury of Philip Roth's novel is nowhere in sight.
Camille speaks!
Kerry Lauerman

We are becoming the masters of our own DNA. But does that give us the right to decide that my children should never have been born?
“Party Monster”
Charles Taylor
This lazy, lurid saga starring Macaulay Culkin as '90s club kid-turned-killer Michael Alig is horrible, all right. But not for the reasons its creators think.
Dude, where’s my star?

Anyone but Bush
Laura McClure

cute, not that smart and not that great a soccer player.
