FIELDS: Renewing the vow of ‘never again’

The front pages across the world tell an old and familiar story. Hatred of the Jews is back.

FIELDS: A tale of a boy, a Bible and a gun

Social conservatives feel betrayed by the popular culture, and why not? If Hollywood depicts someone with a gun or a Bible, he's a figure of ridicule.

FIELDS: Living history at ground zero

Sometimes derided in what New Yorkers call "flyover country," Gotham is nevertheless a microcosm of America with its many immigrant and ethnic cultures.

FIELDS: A tale of two moralities

We weep for Gilad Shaar, Naftali Frenkel and Eyal Yifrach, the three Jewish teenagers whose lives were cut short brutally because they chose to walk home from their religious school.

FIELDS: Hard choices, hard questions for Hillary

We once thought that successful politicians made sacrifices for us, that when they chose public service it meant tight finances for most of them. No longer.

FIELDS: The pornification of little-girl fashion

Dov Charney was called the CEO of Sleezecake, responsible for the heightened pornification of fashion advertisements aimed at very young women.

FIELDS: The politics of poetry

The other day a teacher of a ninth-grade English class at an elite private school in the nation's capital asked students who had transferred from public schools to list the poets they had studied.

FIELDS: Common critics for Common Core

America was swamped a generation ago by "the rising tide of mediocrity," in the apt phrase of Ronald Reagan's National Commission on Excellence in Education.

FIELDS: Islamic barbarism and the ‘war on women’

Women in the West have a particular responsibility to focus a light on cruelty to women elsewhere.

FIELDS: It’s not sexism, it’s insanity

Inquiring minds want to know, and nothing frustrates the modern mind like tragedy that defies rational explanation.

FIELDS: Jill Abramson, the Gray Lady and a woman’s world transformed

Women have come a long way, Miss Baby, since Betty Friedan railed against "the feminine mystique" of the suburban woman locked in a "comfortable concentration camp."

FIELDS: Shakespeare’s diversity in America

If Shakespeare were alive and invited to give the commencement address at a major American university, the favorite spring sport on campus would explode with loud and shrill protest.

FIELDS: A walk through Alice’s wonderland

When Alice Walton, the Wal-Mart heiress and second-richest woman in America, decided to build a Museum of American Art in her hometown deep in the Arkansas Ozarks, no one questioned her ability to spend money.

FIELDS: Roman reflections on popes’ canonization

Rome is "the Eternal City," and it's eternally an inspiration, and particularly this year during Holy Week and the run-up to the canonization of not one, but two new Roman Catholic saints, and both of them popes.

FIELDS: A cold German spring for Merkel and Putin

Berlin enjoyed an unusually warm winter, but the blast of frigid air ushering in spring seems especially suited to accompany the changing attitudes many Germans express in their view of a restive world.

FIELDS: Hillary’s run for student body president

FIELDS: Hope springs eternal, except for Mideast peace

The brutal winter ebbs at last, giving way to the season of hope, deliverance and renewal.

FIELDS: How ‘Noah’ and life imitate art

This isn't the Sunday school epic, but it asks the right questions. "Noah," the movie, is sometimes described as an equal-opportunity religious offender.

FIELDS: Helicopter parents giving children too much protection

Beware the trends in child rearing.

FIELDS: The class of ‘18 and its dreams

It's official: It's spring, when an anxious young man's fancy (and a young woman's, too) seriously turns to thoughts of college.
