The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

The caption to this White House photo notes "First Lady Michelle Obama, joined by Marian Robinson, Sasha Obama and Malia Obama, tours the District Six Museum in Cape Town, South Africa, June 23, 2011. The museum preserves the memory and culture of the District Six section of Cape Town, which was declared "white" by the apartheid government in 1966. More than 60,000 people were forcibly relocated.
