  1. Obama's quest for greatness

    WASHINGTON -- The "legacy thing" may be harder than Barack Obama imagines. Beginning his second term, Obama has a focused, though unstated, agenda: to achieve presidential greatness in the eyes of historians and Americans. In this, he will almost certainly fail. He is already a historic president as the first African-American to be elected, but there is a chasm between being historic and being great.

  3. Hidden functions can increase an item's value

    A toy with hidden parts that give it a second use can add to its value, so look carefully at unfamiliar playthings. A teddy bear sometimes has a hidden music box inside or is made to be used as a muff. A tiny bear with a removable head can actually be a...

  4. Letters: Fiction vs. nonfiction

    Re “What students read,” Editorial, Dec. 27 It's a mistake to believe that fiction is intrinsically superior to nonfiction. The ideas expressed in great speeches over the years, for example, hold their own against the classics because they...

  5. Revisionism Tokyo-style

    This month 75 years ago, the people of Nanking, China's ancient capital city, were in the midst of one of the worst atrocities in history, the infamous Rape of Nanking. The truth of what actually happened is at the center of a bitter dispute between China and Japan that continues to play out in present-day relations. Many Chinese see Japan's election last month of ultraconservative nationalist Shinzo Abe as prime minister as just the latest in a string of insults. And it was recently reported that Japan is considering rolling back its 1993 apology regarding "comfort women," the thousands of women the Japanese army sexually enslaved during World War II.

  6. Liberals Nip at Obama as He Battles Republicans

    You can already hear the rumbling in the distance -- a train of noisy liberal Democrats barreling straight for the White House. They should arrive just in time for President Barack Obama&rsquo;s second inauguration.

  8. Bill Murray scoffs at doubt as FDR in 'Hyde Park on Hudson'

    For Bill Murray, playing Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the new film &ldquo;Hyde Park on Hudson&rdquo; meant risking some serious derision. Now 62, Murray carries with him a huge recognition factor thanks to a host of comedies: "Stripes," "Caddyshack," "Groundhog Day," "Ghostbusters." More recently he has brought a weary, witty gravitas to more bittersweet material, a la "Rushmore," "Lost in Translation" and others.

    Channel Guide Magazine
    This Friday, Dec. 7, 2012, marks the 71st anniversary of the “date which will live in infamy” — the day in 1941 when the Japanese attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, bringing America into World War II and...

  10. Sandy Hook shows America is broken

    What a perverse country we live in. We spend $2 billion on an election where people in this country actually think we are better off with a huge percentage of our population not having health care. Mental health issues are swept under the rug and...

  11. 'Hyde Park on Hudson' review: Makes 'Lincoln' look like 'Skyfall'

    <strong>*1/2 (out of four)</strong>
    *1/2 (out of four) President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Bill Murray) drives his fifth cousin Daisy (Laura Linney) to an isolated field. He puts her hand on his thigh and unfastens his pants. You know where this is going. Daisy must be awfully good with...

  12. Murray is the anchor, but plot adrift in 'Hyde Park on Hudson' ★★

    The music&rsquo;s the best thing about the peculiar, demurely prurient &ldquo;Hyde Park on Hudson,&rdquo; starring Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Laura Linney as his spinster fifth cousin, Daisy Suckley. Setting the scene, and the mood, for this anecdotal account of FDR&rsquo;s pre-war sexual escapades one weekend in 1939, composer Jeremy Sams soaks the movie in a sly and charming recurring theme, a <span class="italic" style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">habanera </span>rather like a buttoned-down variation on the famous aria from Bizet&rsquo;s &ldquo;Carmen.&rdquo;
