...lyrics like," I would love him even if he abused me ..." are unnecessary, given the artistic license that the director has. Even the innovations and nuances that the original writers presented in the adaptation of the biblical text fail to surface in the portrayal of the characters...
...reorganizing the magazine, we have made aesthetic changes as well. We believe you will find the new design of the pages cleaner and more direct, making it easier for you to find what most interests you. We have replaced Times Roman, the body typeface since the 1940s, with Time Text, drawn for us by Boston type designer David Berlow.

...younger British novelists -- Martin Amis, Julian Barnes and Ian McEwan -- matched with a sense of inquiry and of mystery that is not so common. Waterland was a novel electric with ideas. Yet in his intricate narrative of generations and degenerations, Swift achieved something remarkable: a dense, literary text that raced ahead with the compulsive fury of a page turner...
