...only for her own safety, but for all of the other people on the sidewalk that Hicks was using as a moving loom. I agree with Hicks, rudeness is pervasive in our society, but I see it more as a result of narrow self-interest than of '60s style protests...
...result of this symbiosis is Music from the Motion Picture Magnolia (Reprise), Mann's first release in four years.

McCain is more openly critical of China, calling its leaders "determined ... ruthless defenders of their regime"; but he and Bush support Chinese membership in the World Trade...
