On April 3, 2011, Ai Weiwei was detained by Chinese authorities on charges of tax evasion and was held in detention for eighty-one days. One cannot help but wonder what would have happened had there not been such a vociferous outcry by the international community. “Everyth...

The beginning of a new year is generally known to be the time for change and for sticking to our resolutions (Quiting smoking? Dusting off that gym bag? Trying to avoid the Louboutin boutique?). It’s tough, my lovely red soles and my credit card can attest to that. But hope...
