Heard from Corrections Corporation of America this week and learned several things. JOHN BRUMMETT: Obama transformative? Or Clinton-Lite? A year after his historic election, Barack Obama stands revealed as something less than the transformative president he aspired and was intermittently projected to be. Letters to the Editor GEORGE WILL: Getting to know our stranger in Kabul WASHINGTON -- Actress Cate Blanchett, who has played Queen Elizabeth I, is performing here, portraying someone less than regal -- flurried, anxious Blanche DuBois, in Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire." If Obama administration officials involved in formulating Afghanistan policy see her, they should wince when she speaks DuBois' signature line: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." MICKI BARE: The perfect gifts for a nonagenarian are simple In a couple of days, my grandma will officially become a nonagenarian. Being only a quadagenerian myself and already feeling weary much of the time, it is difficult to imagine achieving such a milestone. Although, if I do make it, I assume I'll need lots of naps. |
