The mysterious case of the MEP lovers and the disappearing EU pharma report

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:23 GMT

A report published by an obscure EU panel without legislative powers risks turning into a political powder keg after it was published online and then taken down again — apparently at the behest of two center-right MEPs who are also in a romantic relationship. Both Pernille Weiss and Christian Ehler sit on the European Parliament’s Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA). In fact, Ehler chairs it. The fact that the pair are in a relationship risks casting a shadow on the appropriateness of the decision to withdraw the report by a panel that is, in theory, a non-partisan body that commissions external scientists to produce useful research for the EU Parliament.The report, on Europe’s market for pharmaceuticals, was published on Friday — POLITICO saved a copy here. By Monday it was gone, replaced by a broken link.POLITICO has been given different reasons for why the study was taken down. What’s certain is that the topic — people’s access t...

Van Zile: Tania Fernandes Anderson owes Boston an apology

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:23 GMT

Tania Fernandes Anderson, who represents Roxbury, Dorchester and part of the South End on the Boston City Council, owes Boston’s Jews, veterans and current members of the military an apology. The councilor, who has previously violated the state ethics code by hiring family members to serve on her staff, has, with her recent actions desecrated the memory of the city’s veterans, promoted hostility toward Jews, and has affirmed an atrocity story that has incited attacks not only against Jews throughout the world, but on American interests in the Middle East. In sum, Councilor Anderson has made life more dangerous and uncertain for Bostonians she was elected to serve.Anderson’s antics were on full display at an Oct. 18 meeting of the Boston City Council where, in addition to blocking the passage of a resolution affirming Boston’s solidarity with Israel in the aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre, she put forth a resolution of her own that called for a ceasefire and described the massacr...

Wrong notes keep ‘Priscilla’ from being a hit

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:23 GMT

Based on the 1985 memoir “Elvis and Me” by Priscilla Presley, Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” is a big cup of weak tea, especially measured against Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 effort “Elvis” with the Oscar-nominated, star-making turn by Austin Butler in the lead role. “Priscilla” is the minimalist Elvis-centric film compared with Luhrmann’s maximalist entry.“Priscilla” gives us the visually mismatched Jacob Elordi and Cailee Spaeny as its doomed lovers. He’s 6’5”; she’s 5’1.” The height difference makes Elordi’s Elvis seem like the villainous giant in this fairy tale in more ways than one. It starts in West Germany in 1959, where 24-year-old Elvis is in the Air Force and 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu meet. Elvis invokes the tendency of rock stars of that period taking up with underage girls by playing rival Jerry Lee Lewis’s rendition of “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” on a piano.Cue Frankie Avalon’s “Venus,” and, yes, “ple...

Jeannie!” fans who 38 years later still adore her touchstone series “I Dream of Jeannie.”“Or course it’s mostly ‘Jeannie’ but a lot of people now, according to my fan mail I’m getting all over the world, are seeing these older movies that I did at Fox with Elvis (“Flaming Star’) and Pat Boone (‘All Hands on Deck’), and the Irwin Allen films (‘Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’). That always surprises me. Or they will see one episode I did for ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ –  ‘The Manicurist’ – and they will have photographs of the show and I sign them.”Born in Tucson and raised in San Francisco, Eden settled into Hollywood’s all-girl Studio Club for aspiring actresses. ...
