Who's to say Obama wouldn't since they are both cut from the same neolib cloth?

In case you are interested in pre-Code Hollywood, the WSWS has a review of the second volume in the Forbidden Hollywood collection.
I am surprised it has taken them this long to review it; the set has been out for two or three years.
There is already a volume three.

Obituary: I thought he had long since died, but Turhan Bey, 90, passed away in Austria.
He had a Turkish background, but "Turhan Bey" wasn't his real name. His birthname was Gilbert Selahettin Schultavey, which may explain why he changed it.

Heaven forbid Pakistani girls actually have educations and opinions:
"I never imagined that this could happen because Malala is a young innocent girl," her father said. "Whenever there were threats, relatives and friends would tell Malala to take care but Malala was never fearful."
"She would frequently say 'I am satisfied. I am doing good work for my people so nobody can do anything to me'."
Recently, Malala had started to organize a fund to make sure poor girls could go to school, said Ahmed Shah, a family friend and chairman of the Swat Private Schools Association.
"She had planned on making the Malala Education Foundation in Swat," Shah said, adding that the Taliban used to print threats against her in the newspaper.
Can't have educated women; they aren't good for anything but screwing and childbearing.

Another obituary: NFL player and later actor Alex Karras, 77, has died following suffering from a variety of ailments:
In 1975, he played George Zaharias, the husband of the champion track star and golfer Babe Didrikson Zaharias, in the television movie “Babe.” The title role was played by Susan Clark, who became his wife, and from 1983 to 1989, they starred together in the gentle sitcom “Webster,” about a retired football player who takes in a black boy (Emmanuel Lewis), the orphaned young son of a former teammate.
But Karras, at 6 feet 2 inches and 248 pounds — large then but smaller in comparison with today’s N.F.L. linemen — first earned fame as a ferocious tackle for the Lions. He anchored the defensive line for 12 seasons over 13 years, 1958 to 1970.
It was an era when the N.F.L. had abundant talent at the position; Karras’s contemporaries included the Hall of Famers Bob Lilly and Merlin Olsen. But Karras was an especially versatile pass rusher, known around the league for his combination of strength, speed and caginess. His furious approach — Plimpton described it as a “savage, bustling style of attack” — earned him the nickname the Mad Duck.
