...club has two fellow outlanders trying to make it in the Middle Kingdom. One is a lanky Brazilian who speaks no English. The other is a powerful Senegalese whom Gazza introduces as Adam Caesar. His real name, it turns out, is Adama Cisse, but the Senegalese doesn't correct his British teammate. In halting English, he explains to Gazza that his contract hasn't been signed yet. His wife and children are back in France and fast running out of money. Could Gazza put in a good word for him with the coach? There are dozens of homeless foreign players...
...correct moral decision is not always the correct aesthetic decision. And in Libeskind’s blueprints for new buildings above the place of slaughter, the second has been mistaken for the first. Libeskind has said the site was “a place of mourning, a place of sadness, where so many people were murdered and died.” He is exactly right.

Similarly, the switch among a minority of SUV buyers to crossovers probably reflects a simple shift in priorities during lean, uncertain times: we want fuel economy and safety wrapped in SUV trimmings. Says Shosteck: "The market is showing that consumers want more of the attributes of an SUV, with...
...subdued. The most memorable images are gaunt and painful: the haunted Lincoln; the dark circles under Franklin Roosevelt's eyes; Kennedy standing alone, in shadows, during the Cuban missile crisis. This is a moment far more ambiguous than any of those; intellectual anguish is permissible. War may be the correct choice, but it can't be an easy one. The world might have more confidence in the judgment of this President if he weren't always bathed in the blinding glare of his own certainty...
