The requisite Star Wars movie review — no spoilers [Darleen Click]

In June of 1977 I saw the original Star Wars movie with no expectations. I was a sci-fi fan who had been sorely disappointed with Hollywood’s productions within my favored genre. Even my beloved Star Trek had been shabbily treated by the suits who figured sci-fi fans would be satisfied with monster operas, even when the zipper up the back of the rubber suit was visible, so why spend any

“Losers with Women” [Darleen Click]

Hey, don’t look at me! That’s what these whiny communists call themselves: Tokyo (AFP) – Anti-Christmas protesters calling themselves “Losers with Women” marched through Tokyo’s streets Saturday, bashing the upcoming holiday as a capitalist ploy that also discriminates against singletons. The group of about 20 — part of the Communist-inspired group that routinely protests Western holidays — marched under angry banners that read “Smash Christmas!” in Tokyo’s Shibuya district, where

A diaphanous stole about her shoulders obscuring defined arms that belie a reputation

“How big should government be?” [Darleen Click]

“Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more

100th Birthday of Frank Sinatra [Darleen Click]

I grew up listening to my parents’ records and none still have their original power as those of Francis Albert Sinatra Before Michael Jackson, before Bob Dylan, before Elvis Presley, there was Sinatra, the first modern pop superstar. In the floodtide of centennial tributes (he was born on Dec. 12, 1915), we celebrate the cool, ring-a-ding-ding Sinatra, a man with the world on a string — but his most far-reaching
