  1. '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 — who owned the house where everyone stayed — 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 — and it happened in real life.

  2. Neo-Confederates in Congress resist a rapidly changing world

    Revolutionary changes are coming at us at supersonic speed, bringing new challenges that are existential and global. Yet our political system seems incapable of adapting to, or even fully acknowledging, those changes. Instead, the system is constricted by ideas and attitudes better suited to the 19th century.

  4. Letters: Fiction vs. nonfiction

    Re “What students read,” Editorial, Dec. 27 It's a mistake to believe that fiction is intrinsically superior to nonfiction. The ideas expressed in great speeches over the years, for example, hold their own against the classics because they...

  5. Revisionism Tokyo-style

    This month 75 years ago, the people of Nanking, China's ancient capital city, were in the midst of one of the worst atrocities in history, the infamous Rape of Nanking. The truth of what actually happened is at the center of a bitter dispute between China and Japan that continues to play out in present-day relations. Many Chinese see Japan's election last month of ultraconservative nationalist Shinzo Abe as prime minister as just the latest in a string of insults. And it was recently reported that Japan is considering rolling back its 1993 apology regarding "comfort women," the thousands of women the Japanese army sexually enslaved during World War II.

  6. The fiscal cliff ... of '32

    Close your eyes in Washington these days and you can almost hear the echoes of 1932. Eighty years ago, just like today, a fiscal crisis almost totally dominated the nation's capital.

  7. McManus: The perils of political punditry

    Back in 2011, at the dawn of a long presidential campaign, I established a fine baseline for my credentials as a political prognosticator: I told readers that Mitt Romney's strongest challengers for the Republican nomination would be Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

  10. 'Hyde Park on Hudson' doesn't illuminate FDR, critics say

    "Hyde Park on Hudson," this award season's less flashy presidential portrait, stars Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt at the time of a visit by England's King George VI (Samuel West) and Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) in 1939 to drum up international support on the eve of World War II.

  12. Lincoln and FDR movies are a reminder politics is seldom pretty

    Two new movies, &ldquo;Lincoln&rdquo; and &ldquo;Hyde Park on the Hudson,&rdquo; are intimate portraits of the two most consequential presidents of the United States. They are timely reminders that politics has never been pretty and our leaders have never been perfect human beings, but that, without Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our country might have been lost to the disintegrating influence of lesser men.&nbsp;
