Image
 (Peter Freed) CBS News legend Mike Wallace, the 60 Minutes' pit-bull reporter whose probing, brazen style made his name synonymous with the tough interview -- a style he practically invented for television more than half a century ago -- died last night. He was 93 and passed peacefully surrounded by family members at Waveny Care Center in New Canaan, Conn., where he spent the past few years. He also had a home in Manhattan. "It is with tremendous sadness that we mark the passing of Mike Wallace. His extraordinary contribution as a broadcaster is immeasurable and he has been a force within the television industry throughout its existence. His loss will be felt by all of us at CBS," said Leslie Moonves, president and CEO, CBS Corporation. "All of us at CBS News and particularly at 60 Minutes owe so much to Mike. Without him and his iconic style, there probably wouldn't be a 60 Minutes. There simply hasn't been another broadcast journali...

Film Friday: 'The Ten Commandments' directed by Cecil B. DeMille

Film Friday: 'The Ten Commandments' directed by Cecil B. DeMille Daniel S Levine 4/6/2012 Today is the first night of Passover, the Jewish holiday in which we celebrate the Exodus, when Moses led the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt. Millions of people will celebrate the holiday by gathering their families together for dinner, children will ask the four questions and some will turn to ABC on Saturday to watch Cecil B. DeMille's immortal classic,  The Ten Commandments . The 1956 film has remained timeless, in spite of its hockey acting, completely over-the-top presentation and exhausting 220-minute run time. The term “Hollywood Spectacle” was probably created just to describe the film because there is no other way to describe  The Ten Commandments . The selling point of DeMille's film is that it tells the full story of the life of Moses, from his birth, to when he saw the Burning Bush, to the Exodus out of Egypt to when he brought the Ten Commandments ...

A spokesperson for the Kinkade family said the artist died at home in Los Gatos, Calif., apparently of natural causes. Kinkade's paintings were anything but controversial, depicting scenes of a light-filled America with a heavy emphasis on home, hearth and church. His sentimental scenes of country gardens and pastoral landscapes in dewy morning light were beloved by many but criticized by the art establishment. The painter once said that he had something in common with Walt Disney and Norman Rockwell: He wanted to make people happy. Those light-infused renderi...
