Trošku umenia: Exhibit showcases German artist's version of saintly and secular female subjects
The Virgin, enthroned, closes her eyes and tilts her head to the side slightly as she wears a crown in Albrecht Dürer's 1485 drawing "Madonna with Musical Angels." The infant Jesus, naked and with rays of light emanating from his head, stands on Mary's lap as two angels serenade the pair with a lute and a medieval harp.

Trošku histórie: Three influential men who shared US blind spots
What have I learned from my years of travel in what was once called the "developing world"? Simply that people want to be treated with respect.

Editorial: Leadership is needed to take on the nuclear beast
On Jan. 24, 1961, three U.S. Air Force B-52 bombers were flying over the East Coast. One, carrying two hydrogen bombs, reported an oil leak in its left landing flap. Hours later, during an in-flight refueling, a funnel broke off the plane's tank and fuel began pouring from its right wing. Ninety seconds later, the aircraft was losing equilibrium. The pilot asked to land at a local Air Force base, but was told to first dump more fuel to lessen the risk of a fire upon landing. As the plane eventually began its descent, the pilot reported a loud bang -- and the plane went into a nosedive. The crew ejected; as the plane cracked in two, the nuclear bombs separated from the aircraft. One descended beneath a parachute; the other crashed, drilling 20 feet into muddy soil near Goldsboro, N.C.

Trochu súčasných problémov: Will immigration reform survive Eric Cantor's loss?
In a nation of more than 318 million, 36,110 people are a very small sliver of the electorate. But that is all it took to send shockwaves through Washington, D.C., in June, when those 36,110 people in one Virginia congressional district cast ballots for tea party challenger David Brat, compared to only 28,898 who voted for incumbent House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. For the first time in history, a majority leader has lost a primary election.

Tu ma zaujali dve osobnosti: Yevgeny Kharitonov a Vito Russo
Yevgeny preto, lebo LGBT ľudia v Rusku to ani vtedy nemali ľahké: Kharitonov claimed his sexuality as a gift that gave him special insight into the human condition. In his brief gay manifesto, The Leaflet, Kharitonov compares the repression that gay people experienced in Russian society to the anti-Semitism experienced by Russia’s Jews. He also saw the artistry of Russia’s Jews and gays as being the product of that repression. “The best flower of our shallow people is called like no other to dance the dance of impossible love and to sing of it sweetly.”
A VIto preto, kôli knihe The Celluloid Closet: Homosexuality in the Movies, pretože presne podľa nej bol robený veľmi dobrý dokumentárny film The Celluloid Closet (1995), o ktoorm som už kedysi písal. Vraj má aj nejaký update (s filmami po ´95), ale Robo Furiel, od kotrého osm to pčoul, mi doteraz nebol schopný povedať, že aký
