What She Saw: Kate Winslet as Lee Miller
Lee Miller – model, muse, photographer, war correspondent – was hardly unknown, so the makers of Lee, a newly released biopic about her, had an opportunity to sketch in the vast amount of empty space around this thumbnail of Miller, her life and her work. They had the full cooperation of her son and biographer and keeper of her legacy, Antony Penrose, and the star power of Kate Winslet, who produced the film and plays Miller. This gives the picture, directed by cinematographer Ellen Kuras, a provenance and authority that few biopics can match. Even if you didn't know anything about Lee Miller it's hard not to root for the film – the sort of (relatively) small budget, serious, literary and historical picture that once filled multiplexes and ...

Programming note: Please join me later today, Friday, for a brand new audio adventure in our series Tales for Our Time. ~If you haven't yet heard our 2020 Tale The Marching Morons, do give it a listen because the morons are stepping up the pace.

That is a threat to democracy that will long outlive this present political moment. I would like Democrats and Republicans to both reject censorship. Let's persuade one another. Let's argue about ideas, and then let's come together afterwards. WALZ: ...

A Clubman's Notes
Nonplussed and Terrified
Welcome back to our latest Tale for Our Time. Listeners seemed to enjoy Part One of our story, so herewith the concluding episode. The Unparalleled Invasion was written by Jack London in 1910, and, although off on some of the specifics, was remarkably prescient on the big picture. Tonight, following the awakening of China and its advance around the world, the western powers decide to - oh, go on, take a wild guess - that's right, call a conference: China was appealed to and threatened by the United Powers, and that was all the Convention of Philadelphia came to; and the Convention and the Powers were laughed at by China. Li Tang Fwung, the power behind the Dragon Throne, deigned to reply. "What does China care for the comity of nations?" ...
