Outraged conservative mullahs forced Khatami out and imposed a cultural crackdown that still continues...
...John Farley: "Unfortunately, on their sophomore CD, Foo Fighters never breaks out of the label 'promising,' which starts to sound more like a burden than a compliment the second time around."

For Russia, the disaster is the latest in a string of setbacks, which have included fires on-board Mir and delays in the construction of critical components for the international space...
...makes lachrymose use, first, of a son's accident, then of a sister's death. (Noted one mordant wit: At this rate, his wife had better not walk near any plateglass windows.) In such an age, we can use the example of a man who through four presidential terms dealt with the agony of a nation while keeping his own agonies to himself...
