Pulvermacher claims that none of these satisfied him: he judged them all as too liberal and in error. He gradually drifted away until the 1990s. In the mid-1990s he became convinced on highly shaky evidence that Pope John XXIII had been a freemason, and that thus his election as pope in 1958 had been invalid. According to this argument, not just his papacy and all his acts such as the calling of Vatican II would be invalid, but so in a chain reaction would be the conclave necessitated by his death, the resultant election of Paul VI, J ...

Her first (and the only) movie as a producer -- Lekin -- flopped, but the music (composed by her brother, Hridaynath) was well-appreciated. The haunting "Yaara seeli seeli", written by Gulzar, is considered to be one o ...

Springsteen married Scialfa in 1991; they had three children born between 1990 and 1994. In 1992, three years after breaking up with most of the E Street Band (Roy Bittan remained) and risking charges of "going Hollywood" by moving to Los Angeles (a radical move for someone so linked to the blue-collar life of the Jersey Shore), Springsteen released two albums simultaneously. Human Touch and Lucky Town were even more introspective than any of his previous work. Also different about these albums was the confidence he disp ...
