...Product inserts: These are another thorn in our sides. Although distributed to millions of people, they seem to be written for only 12 - the ladies and gentlemen of the jury. The huge foldouts with the tiny writing are primarily there to cover the drug company's legal backside, but patients are reading them more and more. We then have to deal with indignant, or even angry patients coming back to us with steam shooting out of their ears. "Look what these pills do to you - it says it right here! Are you trying to kill...
...spring of 1967 the movie Lenny Bruce, a filmed record of a 1965 Basin Street West gig, showed those who had never seen him "live" the highs and the lows, the electricity and the longueurs, of a Bruce performance. That summer, Lenny's face was on the cover of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. His autobiography, How to Talk Dirty and Influence People, published in 1963, found a new audience, and The Essential Lenny Bruce, transcriptions of his routines edited by John Cohen, sold 250,000 copies in two years. His old albums were reissued...
...point of the long question sessions is to find inconsistencies in a terrorist's cover story, or to agitate him into a panic. I was typically asked questions like: who paid for your ticket, why are you traveling, why did you buy the ticket so late (or so early), where did you travel in Israel, whom did you meet here. Answers like "the Prime Minister" never seemed to get me anywhere. Almost always, I'd be questioned by one agent, who would then leave to consult with a second agent, who would appear and ask many of the same questions...
...Israel bias in the media. They have a point - well, half a point, anyway. The principle of not faking anything in the news is absolute. But the effects of particular fakeries are relative. It was much more pernicious - if we're to be totally honest here - when a TIME cover of O.J. Simpson after his arrest was doctored to make his skin look darker. The manipulation made an accused man seem more sinister before he had gone to trial, and it did so by playing off the language of racial stereotype. Hajj's manipulations are gratuitous and almost pointless: whichever...
...produce electricity, all of which is dumped into a central national power grid and distributed through different energy providers throughout the country. Making a single megawatt-hour of electricity from wind, however, is more expensive than one from fossil fuel. So wind farmers sell credits, which are priced to cover the difference in cost and allow them to stay in business. By purchasing these credits, Vail is only ensuring that at least the amount of energy it uses from the national grid is eventually replenished with wind power...
