You can always say you will never talk to someone who has attacked you or someone who disagrees with you. That is a legitimate, historic position. It is not one, however, that has ever made peace, which is our commitment.
For Nora Ephron, life was something to celebrate. And explore. And bitch about. And then celebrate again. You didn't have to read all of her brilliant essays to immediately see that the woman had a titanium-strength point of view -- and she was achingly funny about it.
The Newsroom is a paint-by-numbers Sorkin effort, given a frisson of media interest and buzz only because the workplace this time is the media itself. Nothing gets us going like someone we don't like preaching to us about our shortcomings.
Significantly reducing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is a key component in solving America's obesity crisis.
As much as I trusted her, my mother's constant companion from my earliest years through my young teens, Nora seemed always, inexplicably, to trust me too.
Seth MacFarlane's Ted joins the ranks of Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and Observe and Report among razor-sharp cultural satires cleverly disguised as dumb comedies.
We have seen the future of dance, and it is fun! For two nights in June, Klaus's company, Ballets with a Twist, took viewers for a spin with its 21st-century take on an American tradition -- blasting the boundaries between high art and entertainment.
I imagine the Lone Creator of this image -- what great insight regarding humanity had he meant to impart from the solitary confinement of his genius?
The 2012 Aquaphor New York City Triathlon is sponsoring a patriotic underwear run on July 6th. The annual event is one of the most popular underwear runs in the world and is advertised as "just 500 strangers running around in their underwear."
Even in comparatively liberated times and in comparatively liberal places, it can seem easier and even necessary for many in the LGBT community to hold parts of themselves back.

Here's what Nora Ephron meant to me, as a Wellesley girl who wanted to go into entertainment. Ephron showed that it could be done, and by "it," I mean anything.
Liam Gillick's tongue-in-cheek show at Casey Kaplan attests to an exciting career in transition: room to grow, fluid self-criticality, and an evolving stance on the source of meaning in art.
Higher education needs to help the public to appreciate how it creates, refines and applies knowledge and how this leads to specific and pragmatic solutions to current social and economic problems.
The trend of jettisoning a brand's original DNA in favor of ratings is everywhere in cable right now -- and as a branding professional, I wonder how that will affect the overall branding of TV in the long haul.
Tuesday is primary day for New York. Surprised? This is the second of three state primary dates. Mitt Romney won the presidential primary in April. (What? You didn't hear about that either?)
Imagine it again: Not just a few but a majority of those voting in 2008 were enlightened hearts and they made electoral history. But not one of them is onstage in Clybourne Park. How then is this play, as The New York Times' theatre critic claims, "ferociously smart"?
Yes, Charlie Rangel is an entrenched politician, but those that wrongly thought Rangel was a "dead man walking" forgot about a few things.
I have to admit I was never in favor of a playoff in college football. My standard line when two or three teams were laying claim to the title was, "what and spoil all the fun?"
