  1. Confronting artist Kara Walker

    Kara Walker will be difficult. This gets whispered to you by enough people in the art world and you start to believe it: She's humorless!

  3. On Theater: Another 'Lincoln,' closer to home

    I'd like to use my space this week to talk about "Lincoln." No, not the Steven Spielberg blockbuster that may be front-and-center at Sunday's Oscar ceremonies, and not Bill O'Reilly's "Killing Lincoln," now on our television screens.

  4. Honoring Harriet Tubman

    President Barack Obama's designation Monday of a new national monument to Harriet Tubman, who escaped slavery on a Dorchester County plantation in 1849, then helped guide scores of other slaves to freedom in the North during the decade before the Civil War, honors a small and unprepossessing African-American woman who played an outsized role in American history.

  6. Master and slaves, no longer bonded

    THEATER REVIEW: "The Whipping Man" by Northlight Theatre ★★★½ ... One could never accuse Northlight Theatre of a lack of eclecticism in its programming.

  7. Congressman who criticized 'Lincoln' calls Affleck theory 'hilarious'

    Rep. Joe Courtney (D.-Conn.) understands it looks a little strange that he issued a letter chastising Steven Spielberg when it was Ben Affleck who helped him get elected. But he finds the idea that Affleck put him up to it — or that he took it upon...

  8. Commentary: Tuition creates a generation of debtors

    With the estimated cost of attending a four-year state college in America at $120,000, the average family of four should expect their children's college to cost more than buying a home. Even though only 24% of Americans believe college is affordable, 97%...

  9. Will "Lincoln" error spoil its Oscar shot?

    Connecticut congressman Joe Courtney pointed out a historic blooper in the film “Lincoln” -- and some Hollywood experts wonder if the resultant fuss will mar the film’s shot at a best-picture Oscar. (Some even wonder if Joe Courtney is gunning for “Argo” because its star, Ben Affleck, had campaigned for him.) "Lincoln" had congressmen from Connecticut voting to uphold slavery when in fact all Connecticut's congressmen voted for the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. The film's writer, Tony Kushner, said that was a dramatic device to heighten suspense, and many historians say they're not concerned about the minor inaccuracy because the film captured the bigger point -- Lincoln’s drive to get the 13th Amendment passed. What's your view? Should (or will) the inaccuracy kill the film's chance to get a best picture award? Or will the judges give the filmmakers a break, given the stirring larger story the movie tells?

  11. Aberdeen family has roots in Mauritius

     You'd think that Aberdeen's ties to Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean, would be almost nonexistent. However, Jen and Jean-Marie Thomas just got back from there eight days ago.
