The newest member of the all-Democratic Massachusetts congressional delegation says he's humbled and grateful for the appointment to the committee, which oversees defense and military policy. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Moulton said he's concerned about putting more U.S. troops into harm's way and said Iraq has to be able to defend its own borders and protect its own people without relying on the U.S. indefinitely.

LOS ANGELES/WASHINGTON - Sony Pictures will allow "The Interview" to play in more than 200 U.S. theaters as of Christmas Day, reversing its decision to pull the film, after coming under criticism from President Barack Obama and others for caving into pressure from North Korea. The White House praised Sony's about-face, which the studio said would result in "a limited theatrical release" of the film, which stars Seth Rogen and James Franco and is about a fictional plot to assassinate North Korea leader Kim Jong Un.

01.20: Seth Grahame-Smith

2014-12-18 20:04:24| Powells Books Events Calendar

The inimitable Seth Grahame-Smith goes all Howard Zinn on vampires in The Last American Vampire (Grand Central Publishing) — the incredibly ambitious, century-spanning, vampire alterna-history follow-up to the 1.5-million-copy phenomenon Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. In Reconstruction-era America, vampire Henry Sturges is searching for renewed purpose in the wake of his friend Abraham Lincoln's shocking death. It will be an expansive journey that will first send him to England for an unexpected encounter with Jack the Ripper, then to New York City for the birth of a new American century, the dawn of the electric era of Tesla and Edison, and the blazing disaster of the 1937 Hindenburg crash. Along the way, Henry goes on the road in a Kerouac-influenced trip as Grahame-Smith ingeniously weaves vampire history through Russia's October Revolution, the First and Second World Wars, and the JFK assassination. Expansive in scope and serious in execution, The Last American Vampire is a sweeping, alternate history of 20th Century America.
