The new issue of Just Above Sunset was posted early today - Volume 3, Number 38 for the week of Sunday, September 18, 2005 - the parent site to this web log. The weekly is in magazine format and is a sort of "week in review" of what was said first here - with corrections and additions - but contains much brand new material, particularly our foreign desk items, exclusive columns from London, Paris and Tel-Aviv, along with pages of photography and a page of useful, pithy sayings each week.
The political climate stateside was white hot last week, mostly centering on the White House and the federal response to Hurricane Katrina, and matters of race and class have come up in ways not seen since early sixties and the Civil Rights movement. Thus you will find extensive coverage of who said what, from the president to the bitter people in New Orleans to a number of scholars. Events in rest of the world are also covered - from elections in Germany and New Zealand to more trouble in Gaza to a bad week in Baghdad, not to mention key hearings in Washington for the man who will be the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
The six items in the "Foreign Desk" section? Our Man in London, Mike McCahill on the mood there this week, Our Man in Tel-Aviv with two items this week, giving you a feel for what it's really like in the day-to-day, two items from Ric Erickson, Our Man in Paris, one on a very odd musical evening and one on French national politics that will open your eyes. And there's an examination of the British love for making lists.
Bob Patterson is back, as the World's Laziest Journalist with some odd speculation, and as the Book Wrangler with a roundup of books on cinematography.
Guest photography? Don Smith with more from Normandy, my neighbor shows French tourists visiting America for the first time a surreal bit of Route 66, and Bob Patterson catches a film being shot in his neighborhood (this is Hollywood, after all).
The local photography this week is a switch from the usual artsy stuff - sports shots - the Los Angeles Kings (NHL Hockey) in action. Well, they still came out pretty artsy.
Quotes this week? Putting Samuel Goldwyn and PG Wodehouse side by side. Really.
