Composer Nino Rota #BOTD (1911-1979) wrote the music for over 150 films, and also wrote dozens of orchestral and vocal works over the course of an incredibly prolific career.
Most folks know Rota through his scores for THE GODFATHER movies and Fellini films such as 8½ (1963)

Perhaps apropos. In a 1939 internal note, NBC regretted *not* censoring announcer Walter Winchell after he called Hitler a "madman".

Five-byline alert: 🚨

Since Louis CK is in the news again, it's worth restating that he never gave an honest accounting of his sexual misconduct—his initial "apology" and his subsequent statements have been contradicted by the testimony of his victims, and contained elisions and gaps intended to exonerate him.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Mr. Kennedy said it’s an individual choice as to whether or not to vaccinate.
Then he and his minions started taking that choice away by making FDA approval of some vaccines impossible.
