EDITORIALS & OPINION
Jeremiah Moss: A modest proposal for Taylor Swift
Dear Taylor, Since you were named New York City’s “Global Welcome Ambassador,” you’ve been widely mocked, including by this paper.
Editorial: Appall in the family
Young lady or young man, think of your Uncle Doug or Uncle David or Uncle Joe. He shows up at your birthdays, occasionally drinks too much, carries a paunch and is prematurely bald.
Bill Hammond: How Cuomo won over women
Gov. Cuomo’s full-court press for women’s votes has grated on some feminists, including me, like fingernails on a blackboard.
Editorial: Nightmare scenario
With President Obama driving negotiations with Iran toward conclusion, Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer delivered warnings that must be heeded about the perils of making a bad deal simply for the sake of making a deal.
Editorial: Twinkle, twinkle little czar
Highest priority question for President Obama: What the hell is your Ebola czar doing, anyway?
Richard Cohen: The old hands vs. the shaky newbies
At dinner the other night with a collection of political consultants, pollsters, some journalists and a few civilians, we went around the table giving our predictions of the presidential nominees for 2016.
Editorial: The thanks of a city
In their DNA, New Yorkers understand the risks borne by the members of the NYPD. They patrol streets in the dark of night.

REVIEWS
THREE STARS: ‘Private Peaceful’ spotlights brothers in World War I
Anglophiles and Great War aficionados may luxuriate in this slow, sometimes tough drama.
FOUR STARS: ‘True Son’ a powerful documentary
Watch the young politician’s eyes as he’s sworn in — and try to keep your own dry. Good luck.
ONE STAR: Lackluster rom-com ‘Hit by Lighting’ squanders actors' talents
Have Jon Cryer’s standards fallen too low, or does most of the “Two and a Half Men” budget go to Ashton Kutcher?
TWO STARS: Daniel Radcliffe looking sharp in ‘Horns’ with Juno Temple
“Horns” isn’t an entirely successful movie. But with a committed Daniel Radcliffe in the lead, it’s a consistently intriguing one.
FOUR STARS: Neil Young delivers a rich sound in 'Storytone'
Brace yourself: The pioneer of grunge has gone grand. And he’s finally talking about his divorce.
THREE STARS: ‘Point and Shoot’ is compelling
“Point and Shoot” is a compelling account of an ordinary guy who transformed himself through extraordinary circumstance.
THREE STARS: 'Goodbye to Language 3D' pushes boundaries
For those who like movies to feel like a trip to MoMA, say hello to “Goodbye.”
THREE STARS: ‘The McCarthys’ goes for the big play
"The McCarthys" is betting that the mystique of Boston sports is enough of a foundation on which to build everything else.
