...streets of Manhattan--that cocktail tray of an island--fighting off cravings for booze, dating a beautiful, wealthy, crack-addicted Prince Charming and continuing his misadventures as a high-flying adman (the behind-the-jingles tour of the advertising world is worth the price of admission on its own). Beneath the quick-flowing, funny-sad surface of Burroughs' prose lurks considerable complexity: wherever he goes, whatever he's doing, you can feel how badly he wants to drink--as well as the sadness from which that desire comes and the courage it takes to make the sadness so funny...
...Angeles. Over a 60-year career, he is best remembered as Eliot Ness in TV's The Untouchables. But the L.A. native was equally impressive in 1950s epics by Budd Boetticher (The Bullfighter and the Lady), Samuel Fuller (House of Bamboo) and William Wellman (The High and the Mighty). Beneath his rugged looks and rough voice, Stack often suggested a psychic danger, an imminent imploding that got him an Oscar nomination for Written on the Wind and gave his Ness the undertone of obsessiveness: a G-man Javert.

...weapons, his Administration isn't above creating a few itself. The Pentagon is hard at work pushing to develop the first new class of U.S. nukes since the end of the cold war. Two plans are on the table: retooling existing warheads into atomic sledgehammers capable of destroying bunkers beneath 300 meters of rock, and designing new mini-size nukes ideal for targeting stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons. Congress banned work on mini-nukes for the past decade out of fear that smaller nuclear weapons might be more likely to be used. But the Bush Administration, citing the jump...
...truth is out there. Some nights when I am up late working on a paper, by page 12 I can hear the truth breathing shallowly beneath the surface before I bury it in the conclusion. Every undergraduate longs in his heart of hearts to write something as nuanced, verbose, unreadable and inconclusive as his very soul; and some day, every undergraduate will. At the end of an education, are we not entitled to at least one manifesto? After all our tiresome discursiveness, do we even dare...
