At the beginning of the third episode of “Show Me a Hero,” a new miniseries about housing desegregation in Yonkers, N. Y. , from David Simon, William Zorzi, and Paul Haggis, Yonkers Mayor Nick Wasicsko (Oscar Isaac) takes his girlfriend, Nay Noe... “This could be the best house in Yonkers,” Nick tells her. though he has been poking around the house through the course of the series, Nick is only 28, and he has never owned a home. Oh, s—, maybe it’s on Oscar Newman’s list of alternate housing sites for public housing. ” But for all the other reasons Nick hasn’t bought the house, the real thing that has given him pause is the sense that he wasn’t yet accomplished enough to live in such a place. “I hadn’t done anything to deserve a home like this,” Nick tells Nay. The question of the homes we deserve is at the heart of “Show Me a Hero,” which is based on Wasicsko’s real-life fight to implement a court order that Yonkers desegregate its public housing. He won the mayoralty by campaigning against the court decision but fought a desperate battle to comply with it once it became clear that the city had no real option other than to build townhouse-style public housing on sites across the city... Other reviews have justly praised the way “Show Me a Hero” builds high drama out of the minutiae of city council negotiations and noted the shortcuts the series takes in some storylines.
Now, red tape affects all of our lives now and again, but it was white and black tape that delayed the start of this game by a full six minutes. Evidently the league regulations demand that any tape around players’ ankles must be of the same colour as the socks. And with Borough in their yellow away strip, three players were frantically forced to strip off the offending tape and put on fresh socks to satisfy the officials – who had not even noticed this gravest of infringements until the teams were within... Rules are rules. He was by no means the poorest of officials, but his style was pretty rigorous, and it was arguably the home side who came off worst, incurring three yellow cards and – crucially – a 36th minute red for Wealdstone keeper Jonathan North. A fairly even opening half hour had seen some good incisive moves by Borough, especially down the right wing where Gavin McCallum was again working hard to add an end product to his superb ball skills, and Romain was proving a real handful for the... Wealdstone, playing down the considerable slope, were too wayward with their passing to worry the Sports defence unduly, although their long throw routines needed watching. Romain leapt on to a defensive error and lobbed the advancing keeper, who both clattered the striker and handled the ball outside his area, to prevent a clear.
Trump's litany of incendiary characterizations against Mexican immigrants who have crossed the border has resurrected the 1988 George H. W. Bush presidential campaign playbook. Trump's vitriol has attempted to transform Latinos into the new Willie Horton, the new American boogeyman readily acceptable for public crucifixion. Trump is creating his own "voodoo" immigration policy replete with the call for a new wall to be paid for by the Mexican government. Trump's version of magical realism would turn back the clock, shut out the stranger among us and lead Americans back to white dominance. The romanticized Laredo of yesteryear will never return because 90% of Laredo's population is Mexican-American. Mexican-Americans are mostly multigenerational Americans who are the backbone of the American Southwest. Trump's fuzzy math on rapists, criminals and murders that cross our southern border is resonating with a key segment of the Republican Party -- Trump's rise in the polls confirm it. Meanwhile, the Latino perception of Trump's message is...
