- White House defends intelligence chief after interview blunder
The White House on Wednesday played defense for the country's chief intelligence official, who blundered on TV and admitted he was not aware of a terror plot in Britain widely reported by the media.
Assistant to the President for Counterterrorism and Homeland Security John Brennan told a White House briefing that James Clapper, director of National Intelligence, was working on developments in the Korean Peninsula in terms of political and military developments as the story in Britain unfolded ... 水曜日にホワイトハウスはテレビで大失敗、彼は英国でテロ計画の広く報道さ認識していないと認めた国の責任者情報当局者のための防衛を果たした
- Foreign policy goes Gaga
The celebrity activism of Lady Gaga's aid efforts for Japan and author Alice Walker's involvement in the Gaza flotilla add gravitas to their resumes. Only when cultural icons risk unpopularity do they engage in noble enterprise. Tackling issues like hunger and genocide is safe - attacking US policy is not, and gone are the days of radicals like John Lennon. - John Feffer (Jul 14, '11) 有名人の日本のレディガガの援助活動の行動とガザ小艦隊の著者アリスウォーカーの関与は、彼らの履歴書に真剣さを追加

- Rosemary's Baby: No 2 best horror film of all time
Roman Polanski, 1968Roman Polanski's first Hollywood feature was an adaptation of Ira Levin's bestseller, and its success launched a trend for devil-baby, evil-kiddy and satanic pregnancy movies that extended well into the 70s. The novel was first recognised as potential film material at proof stage by low-budget horror entrepreneur William Castle, who ended up as the producer and had a fleeting cameo in the film as a man smoking a cigar outside a phone booth.According to a (probably spurious) film-making legend, Polanski, having never before adapted a novel, didn't realise he was allowed to make changes, with the result that his screenplay is remarkably faithful to Levin's book. Mia Farrow, best known for her role in the TV soap opera Peyton Place and as the wife of Frank Sinatra (who served her with divorce papers during the shoot) played Rosemary Woodhouse, a nice Catholic girl who with her husband Guy (John Cassavetes), a struggling actor, moves into an apartment in The Bramford, an old New York block with a sinister history. (The exteriors were filmed outside the Dakota building on Manhattan's Upper West Side, where John Lennon would later be shot dead.) Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmer play Minnie and Roman Castavet, the nosy neighbours from hell – and that's even before we find out they're satanists. Gordon won a best supporting actress Oscar, the only Academy Award for a horror movie until 1991's The Silence of the Lambs. The film works on multiple levels – as a supernatural thriller (though explicit paranormal elements are limited to a hallucinatory dream sequence and the final shot of the baby's eyes), as a psychological thriller about a paranoid pregnant woman who imagines herself at the centre of a conspiracy, and as the last word in marital betrayal, since t ロマンポランスキーは、1968Romanポランスキーの最初のハリウッドの機能と、アイラレヴィンのベストセラーの適応され、その成功は、1970年代に入っても拡張、悪い子どもと悪魔のような妊。映画悪魔の赤ちゃんの傾向を開始した
- The appeal of the softer Jaroslaw Kaczynski to Poles | Kamil Tchorek
Kaczynski's cuddly makeover and welfare-protecting stance was nearly enough to make him the surprise winner of the presidencyI am filing from Tel Aviv, Warsaw's Israeli cafe-bar, which plays Jewish reggae and is decorated with homoerotic art. It is a controversial place for Poles, who come here to rant about whether there really should be this much garlic in the baba ghanoush.The Islingtonisation of the Polish capital is almost complete, and yesterday's presidential election is the strongest indication yet. With 95% of votes counted, the liberal Bronislaw Komorowski, on 52.6%, defeated his conservative rival Jaroslaw Kaczynski's 47.4%. The data is less important than the fact there was no vitriol in this campaign, which showed a general shift to the centre.Nobody predicted that Kaczynski would do so well. His short-lived, paranoid and aggressive coalition government (which included two bizarre fringe parties) was destroyed in Poland's 2007 general election. It seemed Kaczynski's popularity would never recover, and he trailed in polls for most of this year. However, since his late brother's tragic death on 10 April, Kaczynski convinced voters he is a changed man.Kaczynski has always been strongly pro-Jewish, especially since personal friends had to leave Poland in 1968, during an antisemitic purge masterminded by the communists. Aside from that single subject, he has been willing to flip-flop from one populist issue to another in bids for power. His recent tactics took the biscuit. When Kaczynski's campaigners used John Lennon's hippie anthem I laughed so hard that I fell off my chair – then realised the image makeover could win it for him. The all-new friendly Kaczynski said nice things to Germans, Russians and even the Polish left (whose rising star Grzegorsz Napierals カチンスキのかわいい変身福祉は立場の保護がほぼ彼presidencyIの驚きを受賞するのに十分なテルアビブ、ワルシャワのイスラエルのカフェバー、ユダヤ人のレゲエを果たしている同性愛アートで飾られてから申請いるんだ

- John Lennon's killer has parole hearing date postponed
Mark Chapman's sixth bid for freedom, which was due to start this week, has been delayed while the parole board awaits additional informationThe latest parole hearing for John Lennon's killer has been postponed, delaying Mark David Chapman's sixth bid for freedom. The 55-year-old was scheduled to appear before a parole hearing this week at the Attica correctional facility in New York, where he has served 29 years. But the appointment could not take place because the parole board said it was awaiting additional information to complete Chapman's record.Chapman shot and killed Lennon outside an apartment building in New York in 1980. Though his lawyers wanted to enter a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity at the original trial, Chapman pleaded guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison with psychiatric treatment. Infamously, Chapman showed an obsession with the JD Salinger novel The Catcher in the Rye and read an excerpt from the book at his trial.Chapman has been imprisoned since 1981 and has been denied parole five times since October 2000. Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, has repeatedly campaigned against the possibility of parole for Chapman, recently saying she still feared for the safety of herself and her sons should he be released.Chapman's parole hearing will now take place in September.John LennonThe BeatlesUnited StatesRosie Swashguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
