...pursued the Irish diaspora around the world. McCarthy wrote in 2001 of his "childlike pleasure" in seeing his books on shop shelves with those of writers he admired - and of the "thrill" of "moving McCarthy's Bar in front of Bill Bryson before anyone catches you." DIED. JACQUES DERRIDA, 74, French philosopher and intellectual demigod; in Paris. Born into a Jewish family in Algeria, he earned his reputation in the 1960s and '70s with a series of philosophical works that combined daunting academic virtuosity with an enlightened playfulness. A man of immense charm, he was the godfather of deconstruction...
...That's certainly true of Nat & Ali. Since art school days, this young Melbourne duo have photographed themselves with heroes like Jacques Derrida, presenting their sprawling fanzines on gallery walls, along with their funding rejection slips. The Kingpins also play with art stardom.

Britain is letting out a “yeesh” and slowly stalking away from our long embrace. For two years after Sept. 11, the world became used to the stubborn, arrogant, go-it-alone, kill-the-bastards approach of the United States with regard to its terrorist...
...philosophical argument can be about as convincing as spam mail these days. With the breadth of philosophers, political scientists and sociologists many of us study here at Harvard—and with the ability to interpret their words in any of a million directions (thanks, Derrida)—it is no more a surprise that Pappin can offer a “philosophical” foundation for discrimination than that some religious leaders can offer a theological foundation, or that the Supreme Court can offer a legal foundation. If Pappin had failed to be inspired by the theory...
