...real-life Imelda Marcos, now 80, has recently tried to relaunch her political career, and Here Lies Love is, among other things, an attempt to explain her monomaniacal craving for power and respect: Byrne notes that he'd like listeners to "reluctantly empathize" with his version of her. "Audiences already have a certain amount of knowledge--it might be just the shoes and the money in the Swiss bank accounts.

And she stressed her average-Jane image: she let Oprah's cameras follow her to the gym; in her book, she recalls going door...
...decision to expand dismayed the Obama Administration. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, "At a time when we are working to relaunch negotiations [between Israelis and Palestinians], these actions make it more difficult for our efforts to succeed. Neither party should engage in efforts or take actions that could unilaterally pre-empt, or appear to pre-empt, negotiations." The Palestinians and the United States say the status of Wallajeh and the rest of East Jerusalem should be held open pending negotiations on a final peace deal...
