...about 1977, and he’d just got hold of this studio called Alaska, which has sort of its own special fungus and is under one of the bridges in Waterloo Station [in London]. He said, you might like to come try my studio, and a mere two years later we did,” says Hitchcock. Most of Moonlight (working title “That’s My Fish You’re Holding”) was recorded at Alaska for under £600, plus about £200 for outtakes and rehearsals now available...
...Prospect, Slate and The Village Voice, among others—and his seductively colorful writing style is in full form here. The book begins with tantalizing, epic promise. From the wreckage of Goldwater’s election disaster, Perlstein tells how 10 new conservative Republican governors were elected a mere two years later, eventually leading to Reagan’s 1980 triumph and Bill Clinton’s adoption of many of Reagan’s political positions in 1995—Perlstein argues that Clinton actually took many of his positions from Goldwater’s example.

...development, only an estimated 2,000 acres would be needed. That number represents approximately 1/10,000th of ANWR. Some environmentalists claim that the coastal plain is the last five percent of the Arctic coastline (not the Alaskan coastline) that has not been drilled, but this figure is false.

If a well has been...
...analysts to present Jesus' various messages--of inner purity over legal adherence; of baptism; of messianism; of the expectation of God's kingdom on earth--as growing out of various 1st century Jewish beliefs. But lately, says Chilton, more Christian scholars have scuttled the idea that Jesus' Judaism was mere "ethnic happenstance." He argues, "If you were to take the elements of Jesus' position in isolation, each would [recall] the practice of a certain type of Judaism. He is distinctive in the way in which he brings the elements together and is able to mediate the spirit...
...Outside of the Bible, there is only the scantest evidence of either King's existence. A mere two commemorative inscriptions have been found referring to a "House of David," both from a later period. Solomon's trail is even colder. His name appears on a cylindrical seal owned by a London collector, but it may not be the same Solomon and the object's provenance is cloudy. Few experts believe that the father-and-son team's Unified Kingdom could have stretched, as Kings claims, "from the [Euphrates] River ... to the Border of Egypt." A vocal minority of historians known...
