...Salamanca, but he's got the evil sneer down pat. Bond girl: 9 - Olga Kurylenko is more than OK. Fight scenes: 9 - frenetic, if familiar. And Bond - 7: Craig certainly fills the frame of a modern, wounded action hero; but, just once or twice, could he, and this mostly knuckle-cracking, often crackerjack film, crack a smile...
Saboor isn't taking any chances. The bus conductor, 30, prepares for his twice-weekly Kabul-to-Kandahar trips by exchanging his city outfit for the filthy tunic and voluminous trousers of a poor mechanic, the better to fool potential robbers. He rubs grease and dirt on his face to conceal from possible Taliban attackers that he is clean-shaven. These precautions, Saboor says, have saved his life.

...Twice a year, Pantone holds a closed-door, highly secretive meeting in Europe, where the world's top cultural anthropologists, color psychologists--yes, such an occupation exists--and designers from the fashion, automotive and other industries share their highly attuned thoughts on color.

His adventure through Galicia is full of stomach-churning chunks—for example, the intestinal sac of bony leftovers that he devours, twice. But it isn’t just the food that’s disturbing; his immature metaphors are purposefully off-putting. Barlow compares pigtail fat to nose mucus: “Underneath [the skin of the pig tail] is a layer of blubber...The fatty skin disintegrates as it comes away...
...starting up a constitutional convention. Hawaii is one of three states (the others being Illinois and Connecticut) with the issue of rewriting its constitution on the ballot. And it is also the object lesson for all who'd like to do so. Hawaii has convened what locals call "ConCons" twice since 1968, both with far reaching consequences. Now several influential groups are calling for a third. "You have no idea what can happen," says veteran Honolulu journalist Jerry Burris, who covered the hot and humid ConCon in the summer of 1978 that convened in downtown Honolulu's old federal building...
