...writers who deal with the facts, say Baigent and Leigh. "Today is an ominous one for those who wish to research a book of their own and come up with their own theories," they said in a statement. "It is a carte blanche for those who would rather not bother, but simply take another author's ideas and adapt them." The decision means the Holy Blood authors can't claim massive royalties from Random House (who also published their book) and still have to pay the $6 million legal bill. They can still appeal the appeal and try to convince...
...smell a setup - the old governmental double-cross - don't bother congratulating yourself. We're only halfway through Act 1 of Shooter, the latest movie in the conspiracy-theory genre. Filmmakers have spun some pretty decent political nightmares out of the fear of another Lincoln, McKinley or Kennedy assassination.

Similarly, genetically modified crops have become so prevalent in the U.S. that chances are you've been buying and eating them for years. You just wouldn't know it from the label: the U.S. Department of Agriculture, unlike agencies in Europe and Japan, do not require GM foods to be labeled. While scientists have not identified any specific health...
Assume your readership is exactly like you: Don’t bother with readers who might differ from you in their perspectives or backgrounds. Are you rich, white, preppy, and racially insensitive? Then why not build your Princeton “outsider cred†by sticking this line into your fashion review: “The first pink polo shirt I ever saw on a male…was six sizes too big on the back of a huge black dude with diamond earrings that were way bigger than the ones my grandparents gave me for my bat mitzvah...
