In this episode of Inside the Writers' Studio, "Excited Fan Meets a Celebrity (Author)," we explore such an event from a fan's perspective. (Click image...

Assumption of the Virgin by Titian High Altar - Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari (Venice, Italy) The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, August 15, is one of my favorite holidays here in Italy. It is when Mary ascended into Heaven, body and soul. I went to Mass at the Basilica this morning in...

It was meat meeting meat to convey the predatory nature of pop culture.   Raw meat racks hanging from claw-like hooks at the butcher’s are just bits of carcass ready to become food. Food for thought they aren’t. Not until Lady Gaga wrapped the scraps of the pink flesh splotched with congealed...
