"Seduced by Mrs. Robinson: How 'The Graduate' Became the Touchstone of a Generation" (Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill), by Beverly Gray The title of Beverly Gray's insightful look back at 1967's "The Graduate," one of the most popular comedies of all time, is a bit misleading — Mrs. Robinson seduced young Benjamin Braddock, not the generation that identified with his anxieties about the future and dreamed of joining him in rejecting the path blazed by their parents. Indeed, one of the interesting takeaways from "Seduced by Mrs.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Lawyers for a condemned Ohio killer say it's "patently unfair" that he received the death sentence for killing a friend during a burglary when his accomplice, who delivered the fatal knife wounds, received a life sentence. The attorneys for death row inmate Austin Myers also argued Tuesday before the Ohio Supreme Court that he should be spared because of his relative youth — he was 19 — at the time of the crime. A decision is weeks away. Myers, now 22, was sentenced to die for the Jan. Читать дальше...

What's with the massive overreaction on this forum?

Cotterill can't be expected to work wonders with these players.

The club has no short term fix.

Bad recruitment and an incompetent board is the real issue.

Sacking the manager would simply gloss over that.

And even if he was sacked, do you trust the board to get a better name in?

Berlin/Lausanne (dpa) - Thomas Bach (IOC-Präsident): ««Es handelt sich um einen nie dagewesenen Angriff auf die Integrität der Olympischen Spiele und des Sports.

Anyone who’s interviewed David Lynch knows he doesn’t like to talk about what his work means. In one-on-one conversations, the writer-director (and sculptor, painter, musician, and occasional weatherman) behind the singular movie masterpieces Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Dr. comes across as affable, even gregarious. He’ll share memories from his past, and happily talk about some of the practical aspects of movie-making, like sound design or running a set. But he stops short of saying anything truly revealing.
