…y, museum, and shop, The Wooster Group has also struggled with the tension between a somewhat Spartan existence and the temptations of commerce—Willem Dafoe, founding company member, left the group, and his relationship with Liz LeCompte, supposedly lured by Hollywood fame. Meanwhile, The Wooster Group recently attracted bona fide movie star Frances McDormand to join their ranks, as an “associate.” Four women (McDormand, LeCompte, Suzzy Roche, and…

By Haroon Moghul

…‘bawa’i,’ or remainders. Back from when most Spaniards spoke Arabic. 19. FOX News “FOX News” by Summer Putman Because what else would they talk about? 20. Band practice The Ottomans invented military parades, and attached military bands (with drums over horns) to battle formations, to boost troop morale and freak out whoever was being attacked. They attacked often, which was not cool. But pretty soon everyone who was anyone was doing it, and then…

Church and State in Mexico: A Political Party Wavers on Women’s Rights

By Ruth Samuelson

…ring the PAN’s Reign A fire to win defines the PRI ethos. The party held Mexico’s executive office for 71 years until losing the presidency in 2000. Many past PRI presidents viewed the Catholic Church as a political threat and pushed to marginalize it, whereas PAN presidents have openly embraced their Catholic identity—and of course, utilized it politically.

By Trey Lyon

…effort to scare us—to scare you—to keep us afraid from who is moving in next to us or across the street. It doesn’t have anything to do with Jesus or the Gospel.” The looks were a mix of shock and relief — I may be the young kid in their eyes, but I’ve got enough learning to be somewhat authoritative. No one said any different and I followed up with the Grandmother who brought it up. “I didn’t mean to say anything.” I stammered. “I just got the s…

The Death of a Secularist

By Austin Dacey

…comes to an end, what’s it all for? The first thing to observe about this existential anxiety is that we can’t resolve it just by postulating an eternal afterlife. Consider the sorts of good things that might possibly await us in paradise: knowing and loving other persons (including God), being known and loved, apprehending truth, experiencing beauty (and, in the afterlife of some, fine food, drink, and other sensual delights). These goods worth w…

By Martin Jay

…e, a useful weapon in any politician’s arsenal, even if it is only an approximation of a more complex reality. In her invocation of Spielberg’s Lincoln, Clinton focused on a more shrewd, less familiar image of Lincoln. The particular episode in Spielberg’s film that caught Clinton’s eye was detailed in David Herbert Donald’s authoritative biography, in which the President denied the existence of peace envoys from the Confederacy in order to win De…

Romney Shovels Walks to No Avail

By Joanna Brooks

…as revealed that he was gay and had threatened to deport an undocumented Mexican ex-boyfriend. Yet Romney forges on, with his advisors proclaiming confidence in their deep pockets and ability to buy airtime, even though the campaign’s ground game is not as strong as it may seem. That ground-level weakness reflects the foundational flaw of the Romney campaign. Romney banked on the idea that conservative Christian voters would come around—with enoug…

By Sunnivie Brydum

…are official, though, is the fact that he has defended false equivalencies between pedophilia and homosexuality as nothing more than harmless “Christian beliefs regarding proper sexual ethics.” Crucially, Price also denounced the Obama administration’s landmark support for transgender students as an “absurd” and “clear invasion of privacy.” If Price can’t acknowledge that a transgender girl should be able to use the ladies’ room like all her girlf…

By Peter Laarman

…citizen is permitted to sponsor his or her spouse; Leahy’s measure would extend this same right to same-sex couples by adding the words “or permanent partner” to sections of the Immigration and Naturalization Act that apply to married couples. The same penalties for fraud would apply as currently apply to straight people who claim to be married to citizens: gay bi-national couples would be required to provide proof that they meet the definition o…

Anti-Vaxxers Illustrate Danger of Overly Broad Religious Freedom Laws

By Kara Loewentheil

…only for religious believers. (In the military conscientious objector context, the set of protected beliefs was expanded to include a philosophical opposition to war that was of a similar scope and gravity to a religious objection.) But a belief that vaccines cause autism (which is contrary to all scientific evidence) is not the kind of life philosophy that exemption laws are generally designed to protect. And in fact, there have been recent calls…
