Though they cannot supplant nor replace other methodologies, films can possibly raise new questions, provide different perspectives, and reveal unique ways of knowing about seminal subject, at least by comparison to the standard fare of academic analysis. Each one, "ethics" and "leadership," draw upon substantially different intellectual literatures, scholarly methodologies, traditional assumptions, and disciplinary perspectives. Film, often far better than social science literature, may provide a more "holistic account" of not only individual lives, but entire situations where ethical leadership is practiced. Finally, ethical leadership includes the use of symbols. Symbols abound throughout, thus giving the story meaning, depth, and power beyond simply "a typical feel-good" movie. List...

IF you don't like Newt Gingrich's carefully considered and passionately argued position on the U.S. intervention in Libya, just wait. Recent history suggests that within days he'll be saying the opposite of whatever he's saying now.
My best guess is that for the moment, at least, Gingrich kind of supports President Obama's decision to use military force against Libyan despot Moammar Gaddafi, or at least that he hopes it succeeds. But it's hard to be certain. On Libya, the former House speaker has shown the ability to be both pro and con with equal moral certainty and intellectual arrogance.

In the world of movies, fall is the vast, empty space between summer blockbuster season -- when the studios make their money for the year -- and the holidays, when they make more money and pass out awards for movies that, comparatively speaking, nobody saw.
It's kind of a dumping ground for movies that the decision- makers can't decide what to do with -- like movies that aren't sequels, star vehicles or remakes of already successful movies. Often, there's a good reason for movies to end up here. But it also allows for some really offbeat, unusual and interesting movies that would, otherwise, get no attention to find the time and space to succeed.

SARASOTA, Fla. - Fan mail to Charles Manson rolls in from as far away as Germany, on postcards and stationery and folded notebook paper. In varying modes of legibility, all are seeking a personal audience with arguably the most notorious convict in American history.
