...slits like gun holes, and turn mean." (Slits like gun holes?) - one of Blum's three main characters, D.W. Griffith, doesn't even really belong in the book. Despite Blum's best efforts to incorporate the director, Griffith plays no part in the crime, investigation or subsequent court case. The book's epilogue, in which Griffith, Darrow, and Burns briefly walk by each other in a hotel lobby, is a stretch of the most limber sort. As is the attempt to link the bombing and the investigation's illegal detention of suspects to post-9/11 concerns. This could have...
...Major I Like, and One Day I Will Probably Be Living in a Box.” We’ve built up our quads so we can climb to our eighth-floor garrets with comparative ease. We’ve even learned the warning signs of consumption in case things should take a turn for La Boheme. Each summer, we intern in art studios and theaters and support ourselves by waiting tables.

This assurance of mutual aid is backed up by the Patriot missiles, which, while they are defensive, would allow Poland to respond to a Russian attack without needing outside assistance. The U.S. still claims that this missile deal...
...rules, and Ivy contests are a far cry from the gauntlet that typifies a season in the Southeastern Conference, LSU’s league, which includes traditional powerhouses Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, and Auburn.These are two worlds of college football, worlds that never meet. Except, of course, in the case of Hatch, who has become something of a sensational story in his second year on the LSU squad. His story has been repeated countless times and is usually met with amazement: Hatch was invited to join the Tigers after spending a season in Cambridge, where he was a backup quarterback...
