...Qusay and a small group of top advisers in what looked like someone's home. On the wall behind Saddam were maps of Iraq, marked in heavy felt pen, that appeared to indicate troop deployments. Yunis recognized the melon-colored curtains and ruffled white drapes, the design of the stone floor, the geometric pattern on the empty chair next to Qusay, even some water damage on one of the walls. Saddam, she realized, was sitting in her living room. The next afternoon, acting on intelligence that Saddam had been spotted, an American B-1 dropped four 2,000-lb. bombs...
...sound is less poppy but the gear is the same: requisite chain hanging from the wallet, roomy pants that occasionally slip down below the belt, and old-school Vans. Seringai has carved its own niche out of a sound pioneered by the Deftones and Queens of the Stone Age. The quartet has already generated significant buzz in the critical cities of Jakarta and Bandung before even releasing an album...

If The Wire depicts...
...with this book, she revisits the scene of her humiliation - reluctantly, no doubt, but with a purpose. She knew she'd have to show a little ankle to justify such a huge advance. She also knew the book would allow her to set in stone (or print) the parts of the fiasco that had proved so useful. Indeed, Hillary plays the victim card to perfection, shrouding her lawyer-like efforts to set the record straight. If Hillary had initially been an involuntary victim, she now reprises the role voluntarily. It worked once; it is working again...
