They Both Start With A C
The Economist - Apr 24, 2013

CZECHS thought they had less of an international identity problem than people from other small Central European countries, say Slovaks, Latvians or Lithuanians. After all, Václav Havel, Milos Forman, Jaromír Jágr (pictured above) and other famous Czechs must have put their country on the map. They were in for a surprise. The aftermath of the Boston marathon bombing proved that not even Mr Jágr, a popular ice-hockey player who was traded to the Boston Bruins from Dallas only weeks before t...

Kolby Solinsky: Roger Ebert: Nobody Did It Better
Huffington Post - Apr 04, 2013

RIP Roger Ebert. There was nobody better. What more can you say about someone who's story was summed up so well by his own words? His own prose. His own opinions. His own critical look at everything, even himself. His fairness. His love for movies, and for their viewers. His own thumbs, whether they were up or down. Roger Ebert was a taken-for-granted staple. At least, for most of my life he was. He was well-established before I was born, and his TV shows with Gene Si...

This year the pundits polled by Gold Derby say Lincoln will win Best Picture, Director (Steven Spielberg), Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis)...

Vaclav Klaus's Controversial Amnesty
The Economist - Jan 17, 2013

IF this was an attempt at a noble gesture before leaving office, it clearly failed. On New Year's Day, just nine weeks before the end of his second term, the Czech Republic's president, Václav Klaus (pictured above), granted a broad amnesty that has sparked unceasing outrage. The outgoing president showed mercy to small-time crooks and elderly offenders, and admonished courts for being too slow. Mr. Klaus invoked his presidential right for the first time in his decade in office ...
