• The Band - "The Last Waltz" DVD-A...Scorcese can't dance

  The Band's "Last Waltz" as a film and soundtrack is truly a study in contrasts. On the one hand, we hear the rapture of their recorded output...on the other, we bear witness to their sharp decline. One medium perpetuates the myth...the other glorifies the legend.

  Wonderfully chaotic, and probably closer to the truth about war (even in this day and age) than it means to be

• High Rise - by JG Ballard

  The passage where anarchy has taken hold and a tenant barbecues an Alsatian on a balcony is particularly memorable.

• Thurow on the new knowledge economy, the Arab world, terrorism, and the need for Oprah

  [T]he problem of terrorism resulting from an increasingly economically backward Arab world is perhaps the most pressing immediate problem for the United States. Thurow's book presents the problem in stark relief...What we would really need is not an Arab-language C-SPAN but an Arab version of Oprah to start her book club over there.

• My hawkish libertarian apostasy

  It is more important to me to make the best interpretation based on observed facts on the ground in a particular situation rather than having the Correct Libertarian Response.

• The New Gestapo

  I, for one, would like to see Clear Channel get themselves a backbone. They certainly have enough money to buy one, perhaps they could do that and get it surgically implanted. They are walking on eggshells and cringing in fear of the FCC, and now the NAACP.

• My strange love for John Ashcroft

  You could consider it a mitigating factor that he merely seized the building, rather than burning it down with the congregants inside. I suppose that constitutes an improvement over the previous AG.

  I was watching the news the other day and there have been complaints about the prices for parking at the various hospitals in Montreal. They range between $11-$14 which is more than private parking lots which can go as low as $8.
