Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Broder passed away on Wednesday (Mar. 9) at the age of 81.
Broder, a columnist for the Washington Post, earned a high level of respect from his political coverage for which he was called "the dean of the Washington press corps." He evenly reported on both Democrats and Republicans with clarity and perceptive thinking.
In 1973, he and the post each won Pulitzers for their coverage of President Nixon's Watergate scandal. Additionally, Broder has covered every presidential convention since 1956.
He once said that he never grew tired of the "intense and unpredictable human drama in convention week."

Washington - David Broder, the Washington Post's premier political reporter and columnist known as the dean of the Washington press corps for decades, died Wednesday, the newspaper reported. Broder, 81, who died of complications from diabetes, was a Pulitzer Prize-winner, an award that recognized his reputation for 'the clarity of his political analysis and the influence he wielded as a perceptive thinker,' the Post wrote in his obituary. Broder and The Post each won Pulitzers for coverage of the Watergate scandal, a story that was broken by the storied reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein and led to the 1974 resignation of president Richard Nixon. Broder was cited by the Pulitzer committee for explaining the importance of the Watergate...

If Obama wants the Gipper's stunning rebound from midterm disaster to landslide reelection to American political icon, he'd better absorb some lessons on taking credit and creating villains, says Rick Perlstein in this week's Newsweek.
Ronald Reagan scored a comfortable victory in 1980, promising a new day in Washington and the nation. Then Reaganomics ran into brick wall. Unemployment-7.4 percent at the beginning of his term-was heading toward 10 percent by the summer of 1982. The gross domestic product declined 1.8 percent. On Election Day, voters punished him by taking 27 House seats from his Republican Party, including most of the ones gained in 1980. That gave the Democrats a 269-166 seat advantage-far greater than the 51-seat advantage Republicans enjoy today.

The Melbourne Underground Film Festival returns to terrorize Australia with a selection of outrageous genre films for its 11th annual edition that will be held on Aug. 20-28.
For years now, Muff Festival director Richard Wolstencroft has been bemoaning the state of Australian cinema — and rightfully so — for abandoning its history of popular genre entertainment and settling for a state-sponsored industry of wussy indie fare. Well, looking over this year’s Muff schedule from a distance, it appears that the fest has gathered its most impressive lineup of bold and risky genre fare yet.
There’s the deep sea terror of Stuart Simpson’s El monstro del mar!, the outback nightmare of Road Train by Dean Francis, the Bdsm fantasy world of David King’s Purge, the chaotically violent world of Bad Behavior by Joseph Sims, the sexy and disturbing Burlesque by Dominic Deacon; plus Richard Wolstencroft’s own documentary...

The big apple. The city that never sleeps. The city so nice they named it twice. Whatever name it goes by, New York has been a mainstay of cinema and continues to enchant audiences young and old. It’s defined the careers of filmmakers as diverse as Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen and Spike Lee and has provided an unforgettable landscape for every genre from family musicals (42nd Street, West Side Story) to adult dramas (The French Connection, Midnight Cowboy), action blockbusters (Spider-Man, King Kong) to cheesy comedies (Ghostbusters, Home Alone 2) and now the Empire city has been named the most cinematic city in the world.
