  1. Ben Carson and the evolution-morality debate

    Almost 500 Emory University faculty and students have expressed their dismay that their commencement speaker on Monday does not toe the ideological line when it comes to evolutionary biology. Yes — gasp — the renowned Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Ben Carson does not believe in evolutionary theory. Not only that, but biology professors at Emory and their supporters also accuse Dr. Carson of committing a thought crime because he allegedly "equates acceptance of evolution with a lack of ethics and morality."

  2. In today's GOP, Social Darwinism reborn

    Listen carefully to the Republican debates and you get a view of the kind of society many Republicans seek. The last time we had it was in the Gilded Age of the late 19th century.

  3. 'Paul' is not exactly a heaven-sent comedy

    For a lightweight comedy about two unconventional dudes sheltering a fugitive space alien, <strong>&quot;Paul"</strong> sure comes weighted down with conventional movie "values."
    For a lightweight comedy about two unconventional dudes sheltering a fugitive space alien, "Paul" sure comes weighted down with conventional movie "values." We all know the list by now: It's better to be socially inept and unkempt than neat and...

  4. The famous dead yield only murky diagnoses

    The claims are everywhere: on posters and T-shirts, on the Internet and in books, even sometimes headlining the national news. Thomas Jefferson's eccentricities were actually a form of autism. Albert Einstein's genius flourished despite a learning...

  5. Reimagining 'Snow White' fable

    Snow White and the Huntsman
    Snow White and the Huntsman Astonishingly beautiful and breathtaking in its brutal imagery, thrilling and frightening in equal measure, yet as bereft of satisfying substance as a poisoned apple. Director Rupert Sanders' revisionist take on the classic...

  6. Hampton Roads pirates: College of William and Mary founded on pirate loot

    Few universities can look back on a history so venerable as the College of William and Mary.
    Few universities can look back on a history so venerable as the College of William and Mary. Chartered by royal decree in 1693, America's second oldest college soon became home to its first law school — and it educated so many Founding Fathers that...

  7. A crime against motherhood

    My mom's first day of motherhood was one of the happiest of her life. It was also one of the worst.
    My mom's first day of motherhood was one of the happiest of her life. It was also one of the worst. She had accompanied my dad from Sri Lanka to Washington State University in 1968, so he could complete his doctorate as a Fulbright Scholar. The school...

    Re "N.C. passes marriage law," May 9 We may not like what our neighbors say or do, but as long as it's not hurting us, we accept it so we can live together peacefully. Accepting gay marriage is much the same. Denying a group of people the simple...

  10. Movie review: 'The Pirates! Band of Misfits' plunder and please

    It's not often noted in the history books, but Queen Victoria simply couldn't stand pirates. In fact, the words &quot;I Hate Pirates" are prominently carved on the royal crest. You could look it up.

  11. Aardman's Peter Lord explains one frame from 'The Pirates!'

    Asked to explain the Aardman Animations sensibility, asked if he could put a finger on the house style of the idiosyncratic little studio he co-founded in England 40 years ago, Peter Lord, left, dithered, then finally blurted: . There's really no other word &mdash; the man <em>dithered</em>. Then he stammered. Then he did the full Hugh Grant. Until finally, pleadingly, he blurted: &quot;I can't explain the Aardman sensibility any better than I can explain my accent!" Then, after a bit, he added: "Here, in the States, critics just tend to explain us in terms of Monty Python."

  12. With 'The Pirates! Band of Misfits,' the treasure's in the details ✭✭✭

    Maniacally inventive and tightly packed, if not overpacked, &quot;The Pirates! Band of Misfits" comes from the Aardman animation folks behind Wallace &amp; Gromit, "Chicken Run" and, more recently, "Arthur Christmas." Their latest may be easier to admire than to love; it's more tone-funny and incidental-muttered-aside funny than, for example, your average DreamWorks smash, where every other comic beat ends with a cartoon animal getting bashed in the nethers and then quoting some inappropriate gangster movie.
