...Mediterranean's resources as the annual summer hunt for bluefin tuna. Much of the Med's tuna is no longer caught by traditional means. High-tech "tuna ranches" began appearing in the Med in the late '90s and have proliferated over the past decade - fish farms consisting of circular floating cages about 50 m in diameter and 50 m deep, set up 2-3 km from shore. The ranches are most often controlled not by small European operators but by large multinational corporations. In the cages, tuna fatten up on smaller fish, often for months at a time, before they...
Cycles are circular. They have no end. They have no beginning. That is why, as tempting as that figure of speech is to use, in this case it is false. It is as false as calling American attacks on Taliban remnants in Afghanistan part of a cycle of violence between the U.S. and al-Qaeda or, as Osama bin Laden would have it, between Islam and the Crusaders going back to 1099.

...size of a Studebaker and, ruling them all, a seven-foot-tall Pan, the goat-god. He knows Ofelia as soon as she enters his underground home, identifying her as the long-lost Princess Moanna.

As we ascended to the club’s first level, we were met with pounding trance music. Then, a practically movie-perfect nightclub scene: circular projection screens lit up with green and blue as fog and pulsing lights played through the room. And yet, the gender ratio leaned hard towards sausage. See that girl over there—the one hypnotically twirling glowsticks as tassels stream from the pockets on her cargo pants? She doesn?...
...just think that he's somebody that he always listened to and the thing about King was that he was comfortable in having-essentially having a circular gunfight with him in the middle with all these very big egos, yelling and screaming at one another, and he always wanted Stanley to be part of that, and he did, it is true, talk to him more than any of the others one-on-one. He would call him and talk to him in private. He had a confidence that Stanley didn't want anything. He had no ulterior motives and agendas...
