Doctors in Mexico are preparing to take matador Jose Tomas off sedation gradually and he is “totally out of danger,” manager Salvador Boix said. Tomas was gored in the groin Saturday during a bullfight in the Mexican city of Aguascalientes. The bull’s horn severed a vein and an artery and 인터넷바둑이 Tomas received a blood transfusion of up to 17 pints (eight liters), Boix said. Mexican television footage showed Tomas working the animal with his cape when the bull makes a quick turn toward the matador and catches him in the groin, lifting him into the air for a few seconds and shaking its head with Tomas dangling from its sharp left horn. The bullfighter’s father, Jose Tomas Roman, said from Mexico that normally he watches his son fight from high up in the stands but this time happened to be at ringside. When Tomas was gored, he said, “the whole ring knew that it was a horrible injury.” “I will never do that again,” he told the radio station, referring to his ringside spot. “I feared for the worst.” Tomas is known for a daring bullfighting style in which he gets particularly close to the bull. His full name is Jose Tomas Roman Martin, but he goes by just Jose Tomas. In Spain, he has been something of an enigma: in 2002, at the peak of his career,...

The runaway bestseller, “The Help,” is a look back at the relationships between white women and their black maids in Mississippi in the early 1960s. The book was written by Kathryn Stockett, and the film version premieres today. The author has sparked a lot of controversy because she’s white, yet wrote her novel from the perspective of an African-American housekeeper. If that’s not unusual enough, she let her best friend, a relative unknown, direct the film. Stockett’s explosive novel is set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, a time of segregation and sit-ins, CBS News Correspondent Bill Whitaker reports. It’s the story of a rebellious Southern belle who collaborates with black maids to write a book pulling the covers off the complex, often painful relationships between a pampered, privileged class of white women and the black women who served them. “The Help” has been a bestseller for more than 100 weeks, and the movie has A-list actors, including Viola Davis and Emma Stone. Stockett and the film’s director, Tate Taylor, are lifelong friends who grew up in Jackson, 정읍출장샵 Miss., raised by black housekeepers. “The Help” is her first book and his first major motion picture. Stockett reluctantly showed Taylor her manuscript after 60 literary agents had rejected it. Taylor said of her book, “You think you know your best friend so well, and...

“It was an alchemical thing,” Hart said. “It’s for other people to decide our fate in history, our place in the culture.” That is exactly why fans, followers and some of those who were in the inner circle of the Grateful Dead plan to travel to the University of Massachusetts for three days in November. UMass is hosting an academic conference on all things Dead. It will feature panel discussions on topics as diverse as the band’s innovations in sound engineering, the symbolism in Robert Hunter’s lyrics, the sociological phenomena associated with the nomadic fans who followed the Dead from concert to concert, and the band’s reflection of the American culture throughout the 30 years they were making music. Jerry Garcia, whose death in 1995 also brought an end to the band, might have called this “Thinking Man’s Dead.” The university has labeled it “Unbroken Chain: The Grateful Dead in Music, Culture and Memory.” “We have the opportunity to do something a bit more unique than have a bunch of people sitting around talking about favorite concert memories,” said Rob Weir (no relation to Dead guitarist Bob Weir), a visiting lecturer at the school whose history classes on pop culture use the band as their fulcrum. More than 50 historians, authors, and critics are scheduled to participate, along with some who have a closer connection to the band, including...
