...incredibly diverse array of styles. The title track is classic 70s Brazilian-sounding clap-along gold—the kind of song that you wish would follow you around all day. “Jealous of Roses,” the song that follows, runs through a similar vein, featuring falsetto funk vocals and an addictively choppy beat that is perfect for your “Shaft” moments. Also prominent on the album are textured Dabrye and J Dilla-type hip-hop break beats that, while not as catchy as the other tracks, do have bits of melody...
...care at these stop-and-shop operations? To answer that, the Rand investigators focused on just one state, Minnesota, because clinics are well-established there and because one large health plan has been providing clinic coverage for its members for five years, meaning that there was a rich vein of data to mine. The investigators focused on data on 2,100 patients who had gone to a clinic for one of three common complaints: sore throat, urinary tract infection and earache.

...Mirror-Travels: Robert Smithson and History,” which developed from her dissertation at Yale. The book examines how the work of land artist Smithson “absorbed, transformed, and sometimes refused the historical traditions that it connected to,” Roberts said.

...Defenders of the harsh interrogation - notably Cheney - claim it yielded a rich vein of information, possibly including details of imminent attacks on the U.S. homeland. But tantalizing references to the IG's findings contained in the now infamous "torture memos" by the Bush Administration Office of Legal Counsel suggest that interrogators didn't get much actionable information out of the detainees. Former CIA Director Michael Hayden said last week that the truth lies somewhere in between: that the program achieved "modest success" - providing the agency with useful information about al-Qaeda organization and leadership, but not necessarily information about attacks...
...Moreover, in attempting to point a finger at Britain for its troubles, the Iranian government can tap a rich vein of mistrust for its former imperial ruler. Many Iranians remember the British-brokered Treaty of Gulistan, under which Iran was forced to give up land to Russia in 1813, as one of the most humiliating episodes in their country's history. Hostilities sparked again in 1941, when the U.K. invaded Iran and exiled the country's leader on suspicion of pro-German sympathies. Furthering the mistrust, when Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq dared to nationalize the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company...
