Mismatch Maker

Paltrow’s swan-necked, elegant mischievousness is just one delicious flavor (albeit the most important) in McGrath’s very tasty ensemble. Jeremy Northam’s Mr. Knightley – the gentlemanly Mr. Right she is too obtuse to recognize – captures Austen’s most admirable hero with just the right note of diffident strength. They’re a great romantic match. Purists may feel that Toni Collette is a bit too old to be the naive Harriet, and that Alan Cumming’s Reverend Elton, whom Emma has targeted to marry Harriet, isn’t handsome enough, but in the face of such delightful performances, why quibble?...

And now it’s Trump turn, Republicans said. “He should unequivocally condemn white supremacy,” Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said. During the chaotic hour-and-a-half debate that Sen Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) called a “shit show, " the president’s refusal to denounce extremist and violent groups that promote white supremacy stood out.
