Frank Capra was originally set to direct IT HAPPENED ON FIFTH AVENUE but Roy Del Ruth ended up making the picture. Even without the "Capra Touch," it was a box office hit and has since become a holiday classic.

For a long time I avoided this movie. (A film about preppies and debutants? Who cares!) Then when I finally saw it one night it was meant to be a hate watch. But it's so freakin' good, and I've since become a fan of Whit Stillman's entire body of work.

After she passed away, her family built one last display to try and spread joy to whoever needed it. They exceeded their expectations.

Barnum, the musical. Made in the early 2000s. Starring either Martin Short or even Hugh Jackman.
PT Barnum was so much more than just a circus operator. He was also mayor of Bridgeport, CT and introduced the 14th Amendment to the CT legislature!

There won't be any last minute reprieve, and even for people who don't get subsidies, the cost of our coverage (which prices in a sicker risk pool) is already locked in and much higher.

Also, you know whose legal expenses are not paid for even if they were policy makers at the same level as the governor? His victims.
“That brings the state’s costs for the case alone to $10.5 million under a law that entitles state employees to reasonable litigation expenses if they are accused of wrongdoing while serving in their positions.”
Surely these expenses are UNreasonable? Could the comptroller shut this down?

This was what happened to Newsweek and it’s in the process of happening to the LA Times and the Washington Post, too.
Now look at CBS. Installing Bari Weiss to run a news division isn’t a "pivot to the center." It is a deliberate hollowing out.
Take a legacy institution, gut its standards, wear its skin like a suit. They don’t want CBS's credibility; they want to destroy the idea that credible news exists at all.
