...Turns out, vampires aren't that easy to kill. In an interview with TIME, the best-selling author of Interview with the Vampire and The Queen of the Damned has revealed that she plans to write one last book about Lestat, the feared yet beloved blood-sucking main character in her gothic novel series. "When I published my first book about the Lord I said I would never write about those characters again," Rice acknowledged. "But I have one more book that I would really like to write. It will be a story that I need to tell...

Daley--the quintessential lunch-pail Democrat--sent cops to bust the heads of hippie protesters. Today his son, Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley, opposes the Iraq war, promotes environmentalism and marches...
...shows a command of the issues during debates. But having listened to several of Senator Obama's speeches and read all his policy statements as well as his books, I believe Obama is equally informed and perhaps even more intelligent. What's more, the positions he's taking now aren't just concepts he came up with on the campaign trail because they tested well in polls; he wrote about them in his books years ago. His amazing ability to inspire derives from his refreshing authenticity and his emphasis on what is common to us rather than on what divides...
