...knew?" when they don't pan out. I also am in favor of toppling dictators, establishing democracy and watching it spread painlessly throughout every region where there is no experience of it. Not only that: I am in favor of turning sand into ice cream and guaranteeing a cone to every child in the Middle East. But you can't turn sand into ice cream.

...impossible not to sway from side to side, and Beyoncé, whose voice really is a wonder, cuts through all of it with crystalline joy.
