Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar is a Sympathetic Portrait of a Closeted Mannew
A fascinating portrait of an influential American, J. Edgar presents Hoover (Leonardo DiCaprio) as a flawed but prescient figure whose public role building the FBI into an important institution is contrasted with a private life as a closeted gay man devoted to his right-hand man Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer), who became a devoted soulmate.

Out-of-the-Ordinary Sandwiches and Pizza at Folly's 'Wich Doctornew
First of all, The 'Wich Doctor is more than just an ordinary sandwich shop. Let's get that out of the way first, because while the name contains half of the word "sandwich," this place has a whole lot more to offer than a cold-cut trio or a tuna salad on wheat with provolone.

Darius Rucker's Latest is a Love Letter to Charlestonnew
It's always ideal to chat with big-time musicians when they're relaxed and undistracted by fans, agents, or immediate performance obligations. When City Paper met with Darius Rucker two weeks ago at Chucktown Music Group's downtown office, the songwriter beamed with cheerfulness. It was the eve of the Pro-Am Jam, a collaborative post-golf tournament benefit concert at the Daniel Island Club hosted by Rucker's Hootie and the Blowfish bandmate Mark Bryan.

Ending Government Largesse Always Top Priority for Conservativesnew
Conservatism is a negative philosophy. I don't mean "negative" in that it proposes something undesirable, but negative in that it has always sought to negate the more objectionable aspects of the human condition. Man has a propensity for evil. This means that men must be restrained in some fashion, which is precisely why conservatives have typically stressed religion, conventional morality, humility, etc.

S.C. Republicans Determined to Disenfranchise Black Votersnew
Shortly after the 2008 election, Ann Beser and Steve Chand, of Myrtle Beach, saw the notice in the local paper that there would be a big breakfast confab of Republicans in Georgetown. Beser and Chand are not Republicans, but they are white, and that was good enough. So these two retirees drove down from Myrtle Beach to Georgetown to have grits and eggs with the GOPers.

The Pixies Celebrate Doolittlenew
In 1988, Pixies drummer David Lovering laid the snare drum and tom-tom fills over his bandmate Kim Deal's thumping bass line in the first measures of "Debaser." Back then, he never imagined that two decades later he'd spend three years playing Doolittle in its entirety.

Charleston Doctor an Unlikely Disciple of Saltnew
Dr. Benjamin Yoo, creator of a high-sodium sports drink called BANa, realizes how peculiar it must sound for a doctor to recommend that people take in more salt — a bit like a dentist chiding his patients for not drinking enough Coca-Cola or a pastor shepherding his flock into the corner liquor store.

Mike Lata Keeps it (Mostly) Apoliticalnew
FIG chef Mike Lata is not known for being a political firebrand. He’s known for his James Beard Award-winning approach to Lowcountry cuisine and the locavore ethic. But when U.S. Rep. Tim Scott staged a press conference about fishing at a dock on Shem Creek Tuesday, Lata stopped by to offer his two cents.
