Courage Under Fire film review highlights moral complexity

Edward Zwick directs a probing Persian Gulf War drama shot in Austin and El Paso. Meg Ryan as Capt. Walden is a posthumous Medal of Honor candidate, with Denzel Washington as Lt. Col. Serling investigating the case. The film questions whitewashing, shows war’s chaos, and lingers with its humane look at postwar trauma.

Olympics Sponsorship Sparks Critique of Commercialization

Steve Johnson argues the Olympics are overrun by corporate sponsorship and TV hype. He mocks logos from Visa Kodak and Coca-Cola, notes heavy marketing on NBC and other networks, and questions the value of fiscal excess over athletic merit. The piece blends satire with measured praise for individual athletes and a call to focus on sport over slogans.
