...callow reporter, I dealt with Gibson when, in the shadows of his career in 1990, he was in the midst of a typically intense State of Origin campaign as the coach of New South Wales. He was clearly under stress: his reputation was on the line (Queensland had trounced N.S.W. under Gibson the previous year) and there was a whisper that, among the players, he was seen as a little out of touch. At team training one morning, while Gibson "fed the chooks," as he called speaking to journalists, I botched the phrasing of a question and he lasered...
Reality television programs have dealt with this actual reality in a number of ways: They liven up the more mundane moments of everyday life with high-stakes competition, exotic locales, or the prospect of fame, no matter how faint (see: “The Surreal Life”). Some combine all three of these things...
...have been thinking about it at the time, but Pope Benedict, in the course of his recent U.S. visit may have dealt a knockout blow to the liberal American Catholicism that has challenged Rome since the early 1960s.

Nearly all testified that they had engaged in sexual acts in exchange for money, a version of events that contradicted Palfrey's claims that she had been running a high-end sexual fantasy...
...missile strike that killed Somalia's most notorious Islamist insurgent, Aden Hashi Ayro, has dealt a major blow to al-Qaeda's allies operating in East Africa. The deaths of Ayro and up to 10 others were announced early Thursday by spokesman for his al-Shabab militia, while the U.S. military confirmed it had struck what it called an al-Qaeda target in Somalia, but offered no details. Al-Shabab spokesmen said the men were killed early Thursday by a U.S. air strike on a house in Dusamareeb, a few hundred miles north of Mogadishu. "Infidel planes bombed Dhusamareb," Shabab...
