...edge in a fight over Taiwan. The U.S. has said it can't tolerate a nuclear-armed North Korea, but if no deal is struck, a confrontation - and perhaps a regional nuclear arms race - becomes a more likely scenario. FISCAL AND TRADE ISSUES The huge U.S. budget and current-account deficits have not been unduly punished by the markets because everyone wants the U.S. economic engine to keep going. But terror attacks or more instability in the Middle East could provoke soaring oil prices and a run on the dollar that would hurt the U.S. economy and put Bush...
Other states, such as New York, Florida and Illinois have alternate cellmate assigning policies that take into account gang affiliations while not necessarily separating by race. California’s system, however, creates an environment where prisoners develop racial biases, creating more severe problems when they are released back into society...
...probably more famous for having been married to both Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson. Tommyland, written with journalist Anthony Bozza, is not all killer--in fact there's quite a bit of filler--but the good stuff is as good as the gold in Goldschläger.

Instead, prostitutes, musicians, hangers-on, girlfriends and ex-girlfriends trooped through his house to entertain him. Navarro hectors his sycophantic...
Sure, a little of this goes a long way, but a lot of it goes even further. There's a mesmerizing, hummingbird quality to Scar Tissue that's hard to resist. It's a frank, unsparing, meticulous account of a life lived entirely on impulse, for pleasure and for kicks, and Kiedis (or possibly his co-author, Larry Sloman) has a gift for describing pleasure, especially that of playing music with your pals, something that rarely comes through on the page. The best scene in the book occurs when the Peppers first hook up with drummer Chad Smith, who walks...
