A mighy fortress

NY Times Magazine: A Mighty Fortress
"[T]here is no Pokemon or 'Star Wars' paraphernalia. There are no Britney Spears or Ricky Martin tapes. There are no posters of Leonardo DiCaprio or Michael Jordan taped to the walls, no pots of lip gloss or bottles of metallic nail polish scattered around. No Mortal Kombat, no 'Goosebumps.' No broadcast TV -- though the family does watch carefully selected videos, which often means movies from the 1940's and 50's."
