Selling Obama
Slog (Free subscription) | 08/27/2008
Today at the Obama market in downtown Denver... Plenty shirts for sale... Real cheap bookmarks (they cost nothing)... An Obama pin going for a buck or two (it's up to you)...

Gone is Malcolm X and all that he represents:...

Flank steak: Going against the grain, beautifully
Blue Kitchen (Free subscription) | 08/27/2008
Slow marinating [in a mix of coriander, cumin, cinnamon, fresh ginger and garlic] and quick grilling make flavorful flank steak moist, tender and even bigger flavored. Recipe below. “Beef. It’s what’s for dinner.” When actor Robert Mitchum so beautifully uttered those words in a TV commercial voiceover, backed by Aaron Copland’s always stirring “Rodeo,” this is [...]

Frank Langella as Nixon? I love Langella, but I'm not sure he's working here. In this material, he stuck me as Robert Mitchum trying to ape Nixon...which isn't an entirely pleasant image. Maybe it's just me...

The clash of opposing themes in a Ray film – violence and tenderness, alienation and intimacy – produces characters...
