POPSMcCain Divorced his Crippled Wife to Marry Cindy "in sickness and in health....til death do us part"? McCain claims to be a man of honor and his word. This is an interesting test of that "straight talk". McCain claimed to be a Christian too during the primaries, so this is a fair consideration to weigh. "Maverick" should actually be "pragmatist", John will do whatever John wants.

POPSHomelessness-A Global Phenomenon There is enough food to go around, but the forces that be say it isn't so, but they are soon able to find the money for elaborate get-togethers, hotel rooms, etc. I could go on with the list. None of them have ever tasted homelessness, and there are many sitting on millions and billions of pounds, dollars etc in their private accounts. Yet, there are still people living and dying in the streets. They have no place to sleep, or eat, or changes of clothes.

POPSWhat Dinosaurs Really Looked Like - sort of... Most dinosaurs are known only from their bones, which are seldom found joined together as they would be in real life. Growing up I often lamented the problem of knowing how dinosaurs looked. After all, we find their bones fossilized and fragmented. Although it is easy enough to accurately reconstruct the individual bones, but since they are often found in jumbled dumps, it is virtually impossible to accurately reconstruct how they all fit together without a lot of subjective guesswork. A lot of times they can't even tell which bones come from which dinosaurs. Now, I know that lately the National Geographic Society has been pulling Discovery-Chanel-league stunts of leaping ahead of the facts to promote splashy and unverified history, but this is still a major leap forward. We may not know what color they were, but we are one step closer!

POPSMake LOVE, Not WAR. Well SEX A U.S. porn invasion might not do as much to change hearts and minds in the Middle East as, say, toning down President Bush's bullying rhetoric toward the region or putting more pressure on Israelis and Palestinians to settle their differences. But it's a lot more likely to happen.

POPSIsnt It Romantic? - Maurice Chevalier - Jeanette MacDonald
I'm a huge fan of the films of the 1930s (don't mistakingly lump the 30s and 40s together... they are entirely different animals altogether!!!) The 30s began with sound films just arriving on the heels of several decades of 'silent' film and the great depression in full swing. People were looking for escapism and Hollywood provided with a creativity seldom seen sense! Taking advantage of the new technology of sound-on-film, the studios quickly churned-out musicals with energetic abandon. Depression-era audiences gobbled these films up with a passion. Surprisingly, 75 years later and we have yet to match the artistic techniques of the very first musicals. Perhaps the best musical of all time is 'LOVE ME TONIGHT' from 1932. Director Rouben Mamoulian, composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Larry Hart created an unprecedented integration of song, story and cinema. Watch this musical snippet which begins in Paris with Maurice Chevalier singing "Isn't It Romantic" in his shop. The unforgetabl
