Will Stark (Broderick Crawford), who exploits his populist roots into a career that makes him just short of royalty. As much Shakespearean tragedy as cautionary tale, the Best Picture Oscar winner features...

Although the stars are ostensibly Randolph Scott and Kay Francis, they have relatively little to do in the film, portraying friends of the Dalton brothers who spend most of their time looking worried. The film depicts how injustice turned the Dalton brothers into a gang of desperadoes, and then focuses on their increasingly...

Marty Kaplan The Huffington Post If, as we now know, J. Edgar Hoover had a secret "plan to suspend habeas corpus and imprison some 12,000 Americans he suspected of disloyalty," why not Dick Cheney? Hoover's just-declassified 1950 plan, laid out in Sunday's New York Times, wasn't about Korean War enemy combatants; it was targeted at Americans -- the radicals, pinkos, longhairs, fairies and other nogoodniks...
