  2. Our immodest proposal

    The Times ran an Op-Ed article on Dec. 28 with the headline "<a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-akst-arm-the-children-20121228,0,617397.story">Crayons, pencil, gun: What's missing from the typical kindergartner's backpack? A pistol</a>." The writer, Daniel Akst, was responding to what he considered an absurd suggestion by the National Rifle Assn. to install armed guards in schools. But rather than write about the NRA proposal directly, Akst wrote about the issue satirically, suggesting that we go a step further and arm children.

  8. Reviews: Frankenstein and Dracula cast their shadows in new books

    When Mary Shelley wrote "Frankenstein" in 1816, she could not have conceived of the cultural landmark it would become. The novel still throws a long shadow across the popular imagination almost two centuries later. Boris Karloff's performance as the monster in Universal's 1931 film has become iconic, and his is merely one among dozens of adaptations and revisions to come: movies, plays, novels, comic books, even breakfast cereals (remember Franken Berry?).
