  4. Harry Truman, Lincoln's heir

    Presidents Day, which falls between the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, celebrates the contributions of those presidents. But here's a nomination for another president worth remembering on this long weekend: Harry Truman, the first of the presidents who succeeded Lincoln to accomplish anything of consequence to redress the injustices that black Americans continued to suffer long after their emancipation.

  5. Stale ideas, not a drink of water, sank Marco Rubio's speech

    It is no wonder Florida Sen. Marco Rubio needed to grab a bottle of water in the middle of delivering the Republican response to President Obama&rsquo;s State of the Union address. The speech he was given to recite was like a hunk of stale, dry sourdough and it surely caught in his throat.&nbsp;

  9. In 'Restless,' William Boyd spies overlooked World War II chapter

    British novelist and screenwriter William Boyd doesn't buy the conventional wisdom that a writer should never adapt his own books. His long list of industry credits includes scripts based on his own work (the miniseries "Any Human Heart"), novels by the likes of Evelyn Waugh ("Scoop") and biographies ("Chaplin"). "Restless," the two-part miniseries Boyd wrote from his 2006 novel of the same name, premieres Dec. 7 on Sundance Channel.

  10. Review: Bill Murray shines as FDR in 'Hyde Park on Hudson'

    When Ronald Reagan was asked, as he periodically was, whether his experience as an actor had helped him to be an effective president, he'd genially respond that he didn't know how anybody could do the job without having been an actor. He was, Reagan biographer Lou Cannon believes, kidding on the square, and "Hyde Park on Hudson" amusingly demonstrates how important performance was for another head of state.

  12. 'Hyde Park,' 'Lincoln' and more films give history a leading role

    In "Hyde Park on Hudson," the retelling of the visit of the king and queen of England to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in upstate New York in 1939, there's a particularly remarkable scene: Roosevelt's mother &mdash; who owned the house where everyone stayed &mdash; had purchased a brand-new toilet seat for the royals. But after they left she returned it to the store where she bought it. The shop owner was delighted, hanging the seat in his front window. That's in the movie &mdash; and it happened in real life.
