...words, let me soothe your fears: I’m awake to DJ an Eric Dolphy “Orgy” on Harvard’s radio station, WHRB. An Orgy is WHRB’s signature programming, when the station throws conventional shows like “Afternoon Concert” and “Jazz Spectrum” out the door and instead plays all of the works of composers like Mozart, or devotes several hours to “Songs My Boyfriend and I Have Argued About.” The idea is creativity and above...
...fiery end to what had been a mind-numbingly long meeting, full of familiar arguments and bureaucratic pacing. The states spent much of the morning and early afternoon making their cases that they have been punished enough for leapfrogging the primary calendar against the Democratic National Committee's rules. Representatives from Hillary Clinton's campaign argued for why both delegations should be seated in full and in a manner fully reflective of her substantial victories in the two states. Representatives from Barack Obama's campaign countered that he wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan, and suffered...
...casualties of the earthquake lie face-down on the wet pavement outside Brynjolfur Gesson's garage, their red hats and white beards a mess of ceramic shards. Unlike his garden gnomes, Gesson wasn't home when the earthquake struck his home earlier in the afternoon, sending a wide crack up the wall of his kitchen, where broken plates, beer cans, and paper lie in a chaotic heap on the floor.

Then I'd walk along the foreshore through Sydney Harbour National Park to Chowder Bay for alfresco coffee and cake at Ripples Italian restaurant, tel: (61-2) 9960 3000, in a renovated naval wharf complex...
...That afternoon, McCain was forced to announce he would "reject" the endorsements of two controversial Evangelical pastors, John Hagee of Texas and Rod Parsley of Ohio, whose support he had previously courted, defended and celebrated as keystones of his effort to woo his party's Christian-conservative base. The next day, his wife Cindy reversed a long-held pledge of her own and released the initial pages of her 2006 tax return to the public. A self-imposed ban on lobbyists has forced the departure of five of McCain's advisers, including former Representative Tom Loeffler, the campaign's national...
