Whatever the case, Gringo noted that given the pillows’ typical life span...

Its mysteries, clues and literary-historical allusions demand research, repeated viewing, freeze-framing and endless online...

The surge was designed to carve out a quiet space in which compromise rather than violence would rule. On this front, there is not much good news. Al-Maliki does not appear to need - or even want - to lead any hard negotiations.
