A blast of feedback exploded from the PA system inside Staples Center on Friday afternoon during the first day of rehearsals for Monday’s 58th Grammy Awards ceremony, jolting the dozen or so onlookers in the otherwise deserted arena. The noise was coming from a stage positioned mid-arena, or more...

It is a vision of Hong Kong in which assassinations are staged to cow the citizenry into accepting mainland China’s national security law. Desperate democracy fighters lay down their lives. Grade schoolers are brainwashed by the government and unleashed as a brood of political attack dogs.

You might remember Julie Weiss from the last time we wrote about her, in 2013, when she was celebrating running her 52nd marathon … in 52 weeks.

There are lots of things that are visible in "Son of Saul," the harrowing Oscar-nominated film that is set in a crematorium at Auschwitz. There is the dead-eyed stare of the protagonist, Saul (played by Géza Röhrig), a Hungarian man who, as a sonderkommando, is a prisoner who has been forced to...
