The Darkness of Day is a haunting meditation on suicide. It is comprised entirely of found 16mm footage that had been discarded. The sadness, the isolation, and the desire to escape are recorded on film in various contexts. Voice-over readings from the journal kept by a brother of the filmmaker’s friend who committed suicide in 1990 intermix with a range of compelling stories, from the poignant double suicide of an elderly American couple to a Japanese teenager who jumped into a volcano, spawning over a thousand imitations. While this is a serious exploration of a cultural taboo, its lyrical qualities invite the viewer to approach the subject with understanding and compassion.

What do we do when the Federal Government steps outside of its constitutional limits? Do we ask federal judges in black robes to enforce the limits of federal power? Do we "vote the bums out" in the hopes that new bums will surrender their power? Thomas Jefferson and James Madison didn't think so, and neither should we. The rightful remedy to federal tyranny rests in the hands of the people and the States that created the federal government in the first place. It's called nullification, and it's an idea whose time has come.

Der Eiffelturm ist ein Wahrzeichen Frankreichs und eine der meistbesuchten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Welt. Doch beinahe wäre er gar nicht erbaut worden. Der Entwurf von Gustave Eiffel konkurrierte mit dem Plan des Architekten Jules Bourdais, der einen "Sonnenturm" aus Granit mit einer Leuchtturmspitze vorsah. Der Herausforderer Eiffel und der favorisierte Bourdais kämpften mit harten Bandagen: Sie trugen PR-Kämpfe aus, verunglimpften das Projekt des Rivalen und spannen politische Intrigen. Das Duell spiegelt nicht nur den Geltungsdrang zweier Persönlichkeiten, sondern auch einen Epochenwandel wider: Bourdais gegen Eiffel, das war Stein gegen Eisen, Architektur gegen Ingenieurskunst, schöne Künste und Kulturerbe gegen Fortschritt und Industrie. Der Zeitgeist verlangte nach technischen Errungenschaften. Der Wettlauf um den höchsten Turm der Welt, um den ersten "tausend Fuß", also 300 Meter hohen Turm, hatte begonnen.
