...voice, usually pickled in distortion, comes through cleanly, and he conjures up some clear ideas too. Harrowdown Hill slips into the head of David Kelly--the British whistle-blower who committed suicide after alleging that Tony Blair had oversold the case for war in Iraq--creating a portrait of anger and futility that's overwhelmingly sad. More often than not, though, Yorke speaks for, and to, himself. On Atoms for Peace, he sings, "No more going to the dark side with your flying saucer eyes ... No more talk about the old days, it's time for something great." The Eraser...
...voters in the six states with ballot initiatives. All would increase the minimum wage to at least $6.15, and all are good bets to pass. It's less clear whether the Democrats can convert that support into backing for the party.

...emotionally skilled too, often clearly recalling what their long-ago fights were about and the lessons they took from them.

But as a veteran of the sharply divided blogosphere, Volokh should know better than most that criminality...
...Asia, however, Japan's assertiveness has raised anxieties about a resurgence of the nationalist impulses that led to the deaths of millions during World War II. Anger at Koizumi's visits to the shrine runs deep. At an APEC meeting in Busan, South Korea, last November, South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun told Koizumi that his visits were "totally unacceptable" and China?s ambassador to Japan recently said that a China-Japan summit, which has not happened since 2001, would only take place once "political obstacles" had been overcome.
