Defending Graydon Carter - How grievous are his ethical transgressions? By Jack Shafer What's more, Carter hasn't pretended to be the sort of objective journalist who occupies a cubicle at the New York Times since the '70s and '80s when he worked at Life, TV Cable Week, and Time —assuming that he did then. The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times come off as if Carter is the first editor of an entertainment magazine to dabble in Hollywood. And for all the column inches dumped on Carter in these two stories, I see no real evidence that the magazine is any softer or harder on Hollywood than it's ever been. slate.msn.com /id/2100550

Rubin Carter Biography Rubin Carter (born May 6 1937) was a middleweight contender in the sport of boxing during the 1960s whose subsequent life has been raged with controversy to this day. In June of 1966 Carter was arrested on suspicion of being involved in a triple murder at the Lafayette Grill in downtown Paterson.

Johnny Cash News Johnny Cash was one of those who bared quite a bit of his soul through performance, song writing, and his willingness to talk about himself and his life with a great deal of honesty. Johnny Cash died in September 2003 at the age of 71, four months after the death of his second wife, June Carter Cash. In this case, he gets to do this several times with the concert sequences, where the words and music of a song are diametrically opposed to the emotions the singers are feeling at that time in the film’s chronology. maninblack.net /News_Updates.html   (12651 words)

Coach Carter Review Taking its cue from the life of Ken Carter, a California high school basketball coach who turned a team of underachievers into winners both on the court and in the classroom, "Coach Carter" essentially serves up nothing that we haven't seen countless times before in the "Stand and Deliver"/"Lean on Me"/"Hoosiers"/"Remember the Titans" tradition. It is not necessarily fair to say that in controversial Richmond High School basketball coach Ken Carter, Samuel L. Jackson has come into the role of a lifetime. In the fall of 1998, Ken Carter, a distinguished alumnus of Richmond High, located in an impoverished working-class community north of San Francisco, agreed to coach his alma mater's struggling basketball team. coach-carter-review.blogspot.com   (1653 words)

Coach Carter Taking its cue from the life of Ken Carter, a California high school basketball coach who turned a team of underachievers into winners both on the court and in the classroom, "Coach Carter" essentially serves up nothing that we haven't seen countless times before in the "Stand and Deliver"⁄"Lean on Me"⁄"Hoosiers"⁄"Remember the Titans" tradition. Directed with a sturdy efficiency by Emmy winner Thomas Carter ("Don King: Only in America"), who, incidentally, is not related to his subject, the film takes a straight-ahead approach in retelling the events that brought Ken Carter first cheers and then jeers in his efforts to turn around the members of the Richmond High Oilers. When Carter (Jackson) returns to the school he attended -- still holding a number of his old team's records -- it's late 1998, and things at Richmond High have definitely taken a turn for the worse. www.hollywoodreporter.com /thr/search/article_display.jsp?schema=&vnu_content_id=1000749155&WebLogicSession=Qi8ngNvYnovwS3Xs5Q9YcfokFJQWh1CNAhDGHx5azbfwou7c4OxA-7325744882451780719/177738805/6/7005/7005/7002/7002/7005/-1   (1653 words)

Watch For Me On The Mountain: A Novel Of Geronimo & The Apache Nation by Forrest Carter Can surely stand comparison with the best novels of Indian life we have -- with Frank Waters`s The Man Who Killed the Deer and N. Scott Momaday`s The House Made of Dawn,` writes Larry McMurtry in The New York Times Book Review. Forrest Carter`s authentic American storytelling voice has been heard before -- in his irresistible autobio- graphical novel of his Indian boyhood, The Education of Little Tree, and in his two Josey Wales novels -- Gone to Texas and The Vengeance Trail of Josey Wales. The Houston Post calls Carter`s work `startlingly beautiful, always engrossing...violent to the point of heartbreak.` Watch for Me on the Mountain, a dramatic novel based on the oral history of the Apaches, may be the truest history of the Apache Nation we will ever have. www.insight-books.com /VSNF/0385300824.html   (1653 words)

Drum Hat Buddha (Dave Carter, et al) Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer take a convincing step forward on their third release, which at various times echoes the music of Robin and Linda Williams and a twangy version of Richard and Linda Thompson. Roy Kasten (Amazon.com review) has it ALL wrong when he writes about Dave Carter's "clumsy exertion" and "faux Shakespearean syntax" - It is EXACTLY those moments when Carter is playing with language that make all three of his and Tracy Grammer's CDs pulse with life. Dave Carter passed away in July of 2002 just shy of 50, the victim of a heart attack. johnkeyes.com /a/B00005J6Z3-drum-hat-buddha.html   (1653 words)

Thanks mainly to his considerable presence, "Coach Carter" works more effectively than expected, although, carrying the unnecessary weight of an almost 21⁄2-hour running time, it doesn't always move with the grace of a trained athlete. www.hollywoodreporter.com /thr/reviews/review_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000749155   (580 words)

Books in Review: The Culture of Disbelief Carter is not about to jeopardize his own standing in the Swedish establishment by treason of that kind, and so he does exactly what he did with respect to the religious right’s opposition to the gay and feminist agendas: he defers to a Swedish authority as if to an impartial judge. Carter is an intelligent and decent man who is having an important constructive effect in our insular academic world, where for all the talk of "diversity," one rarely hears any language but Swedish. In The Culture of Disbelief, Carter tries to declare independence from another confining stereotype, this time the requirement of religious correctness that applies to persons of all races who do not want the media and intellectual elites to label them as nut cases. www.firstthings.com /ftissues/ft9312/reviews/johnson.html   (1258 words)

Beckwith Genealogy Carter was ambivalent about many aspects of Virginia life, including slavery, at times defending it and at others calling it a depravity; he eventually freed his nearly 500 slaves. The estate built by John Tayloe II, in 1747, and later maintained by his son, John Tayloe III, was among the outstanding stud farms of colonial Virginia. When Diomed died at the age of 31, one historian reports, "...there was as much mourning over his demise as there was at the death of George Washington." beckwith.blogspot.com /2003_09_01_beckwith_archive.html   (1379 words)

Random House Trade The First Emancipator by Andrew Levy At the dawn of the Revolutionary War, Carter was one of the wealthiest men in America, the owner of tens of thousands of acres of land, factories, ironworks–and hundreds of slaves. In answering this question, Andrew Levy teases out the very texture of Carter’s life and soul–the unspoken passions that divided him from others of his class, and the religious conversion that enabled him to see his black slaves in a new light. “Robert Carter III and his emancipatory Deed of Gift ‘fell out’ of American history for the same reason that racial equality disappeared, until recent times, from the American social contract. www.randomhouse.com /randomhouse/catalog/display.pperl?1588364690   (736 words)
