Much has been made about the gayness -- or lack thereof -- of A Single Man, the debut feature by former Gucci creative director Tom Ford. The film -- a big-screen adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel -- zooms in on a pivotal day in the...

Last month's arrest of a Florida-born West Bank resident by Israeli security forces is the most potent example yet of the threat posed by the Jewish Settler movement to Israel's democratic soul.
