...Pearl's head. A later barrage of e-mails accused Pearl of working for the Israeli intelligence service Mossad and claimed Pearl would be executed if the group's demands were not met at once. The group also warned other U.S. journalists to leave Pakistan or "be targeted." The affair underscores the dangers journalists have faced in the region since the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan; eight have been killed...
...overlaying an ethereal instrumental sample onto a jagged, edgy beat.

Post-coitus, Leo accuses Vi of having grown tired of the novelty of handicapped sex. In class Leo reads an autobiographical story of his affair with Vi, and concludes by saying: “CP didn’t stand for cerebral palsy anymore, but rather, cerebal person.” His classmates respond with approbation and cliches, invoking other writers who were afflicted with handicaps, and paying lip service to political correctness.
