Last week, however, he withdrew his game from consideration after a fellow finalist’s game was axed for its subject matter. Since then, five other finalists have followed suit, one sponsor has dropped out and now, with half of the 14 finalists out of consideration, the festival appears imperiled. At its heart, this is a dispute over the limits of artistic expression and the boundaries of good taste.

You build barracks and stables to train your armies, while you make workers and peasants gather critical resources to drive your wartime economy....

The Democratic governor said that although the state still prioritizing doses to those in the greatest need during initial phases, such as front-line medical workers, more “flexibility” was being used in determining groups eligible for the vaccines. “We have a specific goal of a million vaccinations in the next 10 days that we want to administer,” Newsom said before later clarifying that he had meant to say nine days....

But there is no question that this issue, which is hardly central to his program for the nation, created a discordant undertone during the festivities of his Inauguration. The Joint Chiefs, who in December threatened to resign en masse if Clinton forced the gay issue upon them, have steadily leaked their continued opposition to his offers of a deal....
