La Habanera (DVD)

Director Douglas Sirk's (under the name Detlef Sierck) LA HABANERA became more than a star vehicle for promising actress Zarah Leander, as he created a moody, musical melodrama that speaks volumes about the politics of colonialism. The lovely Astree (Zarah Leander) leaves Sweden for the warm Caribbean and marriage to wealthy Puerto Rican businessman Don Pedro de Avila (Ferdinand Marian). Years later, when the love has disappeared from Astree's marriage, her ex-lover Dr. Sven Nagel (Karl Martell) suddenly reappears in her life, on a mission to cure a deadly tropical disease. When Astree's son becomes ill with the disease, Sven must try to find a cure, while avoiding the jealous Don Pedro's wrath. Ultimately, Astree must choose between the love she left behind, and the power and control exercised over her by Don Pedro.

Faith and Health

This volume reviews and integrates the growing body of contemporary psychological research on the links between religious faith and health outcomes. It presents up-to-date findings from empirical studies of populations ranging from healthy individuals to those with specific clinical problems, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, and psychological disorders. Drawing on multiple perspectives in psychology, the book examines such critical questions as the impact of religious practices on health behaviors and health risks; the role played by faith in adaptation to illness or disability; and possible influences on physiological functioning and mortality. Chapters reflect the close collaboration of the editors and contributing authors, who discuss commonalities and differences in their work, debate key methodological concerns, and outline a cohesive agenda for future research.

The Age Of Anxiety

Washington political reporter Haynes Johnson reviews the history of the McCarthy period, looking for lessons for our time. Providing an in-depth account of the early-1950s Cold War political climate, when the politics of fear swept the nation, Johnson focuses not just on Senator McCarthy himself, but on the forces on both sides. He examines those who aligned themselves with the demagogue, as he calls McCarthy, and the witch hunts, as well as those who reined them in--in his view, a courageous press and a brave faction of the Republican party that acted responsibly. Johnson looks at today's volatile political climate, seeing in the war on terrorism and the divided Congress and nation many parallels to the McCarthy period--and wondering whether, and how, the new politics of fear can be curbed as it was back then.
