My grandparents used to have The Times of London delivered to their doorstep every morning. As part of a generation of glass milk bottles, lifelong neighbors, rationing and tripe, they clung to tradition. When I was a teenager a young family took over the post office and they stopped hand-delivering the newspapers every morning. Even then, though, my grandparents would sit at the kitchen table they had brought from the family farm 20 years before and read The Times, never The Independent. Even when I was too young to understand the words within the thin, papery pages, I read. Journalists seemed sophisticated, adult, intelligent — in short, everything a precocious 11-year old might aspire to be. I read sitting alongside my grandparents as they indecorously slurped oatmeal with a generous helping of milk and salt — a way in which I swore I would never eat oatmeal and which is the way I eat it now, long after their deaths.

One of the most controversial political figures in British history graces the big screen in the biopic The Iron Lady. As Britain's first female prime minister, Margaret Thatcher played a 10-year game of chicken with Irish terrorists, trade unionists and strikers, successfully defended a little-known British colony in the South Atlantic and fought tirelessly against political misogyny. However, in portraying these victories, "The Iron Lady" underplays the more controversial aspects of its protagonist - her obstinacy, her tenuous relationship with her children and the potentially harmful economic impacts of her domestic politics.

ABC's Charlie's Angels flew onto our screens this fall as the latest in a string of television shows that invoke the trappings of mid-20th century entertainment. While other shows, like ABC's Pan Am, borrow from this era successfully, Charlie's Angels uses '70s culture less aptly. In the case of Angels, someone has to stand up and say, "Enough is enough."
