'Salt': Flat

Frederik Sisa — 2010-07-30

What ever happened to the humble vial of truth serum? A few drops of the stuff and suspects were chirpier than a colony of birds on a telephone wire. It was the epitome of spy movie interrogation technology. The real drama, of course, came from the pitting of mind vs. mind, spy vs. counterspy, in tense, unaided confrontations across a table. Now we get neural imaging devices that scan a suspect"s brain in real-time to root out deception, which is convenient as it illustrates how much technology — both real and speculative — has infiltrated our spy movies. Like the dilemma facing the intelligence services, people have given way to machines.

The One-Eyed Goat

Alexandra Campbell — 2010-07-30

Dateline Boston — A few years ago, I went to Germany to visit some friends. They took me to a grand cathedral. Imke said to me, “Look, this building has been here for (really, really long time) years!” I nodded absentmindedly; “Uh huh.” Imke poked her husband Thomas and said, “Nothing impresses her!” One of the things that did impress me was the one-eyed goat.

Thomas D. Elias — 2010-07-29

Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown will spend a lot of time this fall blasting each other for flip-flops, alleged lying and lack of specificity. There will be talk about illegal immigration, how to balance the state budget and what to do about greenhouse gases and climate change.

We Only Agree on the Color of Your Argument, Mr. Z

Letters to the Editor — 2010-07-29

Gosh, it continues to be perplexing that Robert Zirgulis, a former candidate for the School Board and the City Council, can whip up so much emotion over one subject, eliminating red light cameras, when there are pressing matters to merit our concern:

Warning to Police: Do Not Arrest the Bad Guys

Ari L. Noonan — 2010-07-28

The most cogent rationale I have heard for this morning"s ruling that at least delays implementation of Arizona"s anti-illegal alien law is that the judge crucially agreed with the White House that legal aliens would be unfairly affected.

Even though meaningful crime historically is invisible in Culver City — Ted Cooke and all of his successors have said so — at least for this summer, the most difficult job in the community must belong to the Chief of Police.
