Whit Stillman returns with Damsels in Distressnew
When Stillman's first film appeared in 1990, he was hailed as New York's WASP answer to Woody Allen. His movies reflect a conservative New England sensibility, of private schools, good manners, and unfashionable social and political opinions argued eloquently and amusingly.
Jack White: 'Blunderbuss'new
For those who think of Jack White as a rock god turned eccentric music mogul peddling odd (and awful) one-off collaborative singles from a gaudy yellow taco truck, this album might come as a bit of a surprise.

A Harsh Lesson at Columbia
As Obama brings his rock-the-youth-vote campaign to the Morningside Heights neighborhood of New York City, he wants to be photographed in a sea of adoring youthful faces.

Democrats have blamed Republicans for trying to legislate away women’s reproductive rights; Republicans have accused Democrats of inflating an inflammatory wedge issue to score political points. For some, the Palmetto State is ground zero.
