  2. 'Mary Coin' imagines 'Migrant Mother's' life

    A photograph, Marisa Silver writes at the end of her new novel, "Mary Coin," is "an alchemy of fact and invention that produces something recognizable as the truth. But it is not the truth." It is as if Silver is writing about her own new novel here &mdash; about the melding of history and imagination, probability and conjecture that frames "Mary Coin." The story turns around the iconic Depression-era photograph known by most as "Migrant Mother" &mdash; that young mother in a roadside tent, those distance-seeking eyes, those two dirty children snuggling away from the scrutinizing thievery of the camera's lens.

  9. 'Mary Pickford': A portrait fit for film royalty

    Mary Pickford bobbed her hair on June 21, 1928. It made news worldwide. For she was "America's Sweetheart," and those signature golden curls symbolized an earlier, more innocent age when Pickford reigned as the most famous movie star in the world. Pickford's fame burned so brightly and so early &mdash; she was washed up in movies by the early 1930s &mdash; that it's hard now to recall her impact on popular culture as a gifted actress, wife to fellow superstar Douglas Fairbanks (shown above) and one of Hollywood's most powerful movie moguls. Now, a handsome new book titled &ldquo;Mary Pickford: Queen of the Movies&rdquo; attempts to restore Pickford to the limelight with essays by film critics and scholars examining all sides of her persona. It's lavishly illustrated with more than 235 photos and images.

  11. 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.

  12. Proponents of cellphone unlocking ask the White House for help

    <span style="font-size: small;">Proponents of cellphone unlocking are trying to gain the White House's support through a <a href="https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/make-unlocking-cell-phones-legal/1g9KhZG7">petition</a> drive, but they face a couple of non-trivial hurdles. First, they have until Saturday to reach 100,000 signatures &mdash; the new threshold the Obama administration set for responding to petitions on its <a href="https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/">We the People</a> site &mdash; and they were more than 25,000 short as of this writing. And second, even if they hit their target and win over the administration, it's not clear the White House can do much to help.</span>
