Dylan Farrow, Woody Allen’s Accuser, Says #MeToo Movement Is ‘Selective’

Ms. Farrow, the director’s adopted daughter, repeated her accusations that he molested her as a child and questioned why he has escaped the fallout.

The avalanche is only halfway down the mountain.
Woody Allen will be engulfed.

I think I will not regret it.

The Great Al Franken Moment

His downfall was really a positive sign of the times.

Yes.

U.S. residents live in a protestant culture.
There is no forgiveness of sin.

Lost in Translation? Pope Ponders an Update to Lord’s Prayer

“Lead us not into temptation” is not quite right, Francis said. “Do not let us fall into temptation” might be more precise.

Pope Francis has a schollarly point.

The politics of church management are not simple

The change in philosophy is probably not worth the schism
that would follow.

Dina Powell, Influential Foreign Policy Adviser, Is Set to Exit White House

Ms. Powell, a deputy national security adviser to President Trump, has been a key player on a variety of issues and a top ally of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

I would guess Donald Trump is descending more deeply into insanity.
Stephen K. Bannon has maintained his influence.

F.B.I. Warned Hope Hicks About Emails From Russian Operatives

Top counterintelligence agents met with Ms. Hicks, one of President Trump’s closest advisers, to urge caution about Russian outreach efforts.

The report does not advance the Trump cause.

He may have succeeded.

A Spinach Lasagna Worthy of a Holiday Feast

Time-consuming but magnificent, this is a lasagna fancy enough for holiday dinners.

I can do that.

Under New Tax Plan, the Cost of Aging Could Rise

If the tax bill removes medical expense deductions, many people could lose over $10,000 annually.

The new tax program should not become law.
