Russian Version of Mary Poppins
Why rush to a crowded theater and pay fifteen dollars to see the new MARY POPPINS, when you can sit at home and watch the Russian version for free?Unfortunately, embedding not permitted, so you must make the far journey to YouTube.

Eisenhower on Modern Art
Apparently, Nikita K. wasn't the only critic of modern art outraged by the 1959 exhibition, as you can see from the article below. Eisenhower and Harry Truman weighed in at times.But Eisenhower, like George W. Bush today, also painted as well, presumably showing us what he regarded as good art.
