But rather than get hung up on questions of Andersen’s guilt and whether the firm, already doomed before the jury made its decision, will win on appeal, let’s look at the big picture and see what the Andersen story really tells us. The verdict is the clearest signal yet that the market-bubble ethos of greed being good–heck, even a desirable mainstream value–is over. Sure, that “greed is good” speech by Gordon Gekko in the movie “Wall Street” dates back to the ’80s, but the point back then was that we were supposed to be horrified by the notion....

It hasn’t been easy for Piano to shake the notoriety of his most famous building. He was little known in 1971 when he and British architect Richard Rogers won the competition to build the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris; their boisterous design, with its brightly painted tangle of exposed ducts, pipes and skeleton, was the ultimate expression of a building as a machine. After that, the label of high tech stuck....

While this isn’t unique to the longest form of the game, young debutants in Test cricket certainly seem to have invigorated the format in recent years.

For this list, I tried to cover multiple countries instead of choosing from the talent pool of just a single country....

“They took quite a liking to it. You need to watch the grapes all the time,” says Petersen, who’s banking on humans cultivating a similar yen for the fruit he has planted to boost his farming income. With today’s agriculture prices among their lowest in years, every square foot that can bear crops is a lifeline. Yet corn and soybeans don’t demand the dollar they once did, and farmers from throughout the Midwest are increasingly turning to the bottle to survive....

Marvel released the official Hawkeye trailer, beginning with arrow-wielding avenger Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) enjoying the holidays with his family. Following a news report that begins questioning whether Barton’s Endgame persona as a masked assassin has returned, he sets off on his own to stop his troubled past from catching up with him. Along the way, he meets Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), a skilled archer who hopes to become a hero much like Barton himself....

Blanketed in New England snowdrifts, director John Madden’s solid but somewhat prosaic film seems a little stiff in the joints at first. Screenwriter Richard Nelson’s frame for the story, in which a young minister (Tate Donovan) tries to discover why the townsfolk shun the old, crippled Ethan, is little more than portentous drum-rolling. But “Ethan Frome” blossoms when the two lovers, left alone in the house, spend their first evening together....

When Thorin and company thus undertake their quest to reclaim Erebor, the kingdom of their forefathers, they awaken Smaug from a long and deep slumber. In a rage, he tries at first to weed them out of the mountain and fry them, but when this proves too difficult a task, he decides instead to take his vengeance upon the people of Lake Town for helping them. There is nothing that the dwarves can do but sit and watch as he flies towards the village to desecrate it....

After interviewing deans, admissions officers, guidance counselors and students–and keeping an eye on the news–we’ve put together a list of schools that have buzz. Some of our picks are private, some are public. Some have innovative curricula or comprehensive financial-aid packages (always a plus). Some focus on the arts, while others are known for tech or business acumen. Lately we’ve been told that students are less concerned with location and more interested in applying to “families” of schools with comparable curricula or campus lifestyles....

Back in November 2019, I wrote a column with Sean Kennedy about the dangers of allowing radical, anti-police activists to infiltrate local district attorney offices. I also warned about this dangerous trend in my June 2020 book Trump and the American Future. Now, as riots, looting, and violent crime spikes continue in Democrat-run cities across America, we are living through the violent consequences. These consequences are most immediately clear in Portland, Oregon, which just passed its 100th consecutive day of violence in the streets....

The original Street Fighter was a very different form of what would become arguably the most iconic fighting game in history. With the release of Street Fighter 2, however, Capcom refined the game’s core gameplay and defined some of the characters that are now among the most recognizable in gaming history. Its release had eager players dumping quarter after quarter into arcade machines and excitedly snapping up console versions of the game once it released on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis....
