ANTI-SEMITISM: March 15, 2019 Politics has always exploited the pop culture to reach “the people,” but in our identity-conscious time when social media is employed as the mode of communicating, pop references can be hazardous to the health of your political party. Those using such new ways of talking must know the audience, like a traveling salesman must “know the territory....
Beware of the high-tech hustle

HIGH-TECH CULTURE: February 1, 2019 The culture pendulum swings inevitably and inexorably, and its wide arc often surprises us. Labels are nearly always limited to selected slices of reality, but they’re convenient in marking important change.

Suzanne Fields 01/13/2019 - 8:55pm
VULGARITY: January 11, 2019 A sexual revolution, like a political resolution, goes through unexpected change between rebellion and triumph. Consider the two big political explosions among women in the previous century. We’re still counting the collateral damage, along with a victory or two. First came the suffragettes, who fought bravely...
A truthful tale told without politics
Suzanne Fields 01/07/2019 - 3:46pm
MOVIE REVIEW: January 4, 2019 Weary of being hit over the head with political righteousness, self-centered virtue and glib judgments delivered left and right with arrogance and self-satisfaction? Tired of hearing about “us” versus “them,” the nobles against the deplorables? Sick of being encouraged to sneer at “the...
