Humphrey Bogart's Letter to TIME →
timemagazine: Sir: It has come to my attention that in your Current & Choice section, Lauren Bacall has consistently been left out of the cast of Key Largo. Inasmuch as there are those of us in Hollywood, Miss Bacall among them, who would rather make Current & Choice than win an Academy Award or make Men of Distinction, won’t you please include her in the cast of Key Largo in...

The D.A. Did the Right Thing
If the worst [Dominique Strauss-Kahn] suffers is a perp walk, a few days in Rikers Island and some nasty headlines, one’s heart ought not bleed. Ah, yes, and he had to resign as the chief of an institution where sexual harassment was allegedly rampant, thanks, in part, to a culture he helped perpetuate. Gee, isn’t that awful?
