...politics of victimhood were signs of a society regressing toward the infant stage. You don't have to buy Freud's explanation or Lasch's indictment, however, to see an immediate danger in the way we examine the lives of mass killers. Earnestly and honestly, detectives and journalists dig up apparent clues and weave them into a sort of explanation. In the days after Columbine, for example, Harris and Klebold emerged as alienated misfits in the jock culture of their suburban high school. We learned about their morbid taste in music and their violent video games. Largely missing, though...
...agenda centered on the Iraq war and terrorism helped Rudd's career. The Cole inquiry into the involvement of wheat exporter AWB Ltd. in Saddam Hussein's manipulation of the United Nations Oil-for-Food program was another step up for Rudd. He showed his colleagues that he could dig in for a long fight, keeping political pressure on the Howard government last year despite no evidence of ministerial misconduct. It was a complicated brief to try to implicate the government in the $300 million scam, especially as the company's executives were the focus. But the experience proved that...
...that with [mostly] pars and only a few bogies.” The 10th, a narrow 390-yard hole that plays even longer, was tough enough to trip up Amanti, who had been infallible elsewhere.

...rapping is sub-par, to say the least. While Missy and Tony Yayo take witty stabs at Britney Spears on separate tracks, Timba’s meager offering includes lines like, “Break bread if you wanna get wit’ me / All I wanna do is dig up in them kidneys.” The less Timbaland exerts his lyrical presence, the more comfortable the listener is. The album’s first single, “Give It To Me”—which features Timberlake and Furtado, Timbaland’s golden...
...inspired premise: to commemorate, update and parody the infra-dig, ultraviolent '70s genre movies that used to fill three hours at scuzzy urban theaters. And just the right auteur-perps showed up for the job: Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) and Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill), plus a few other cult directors to provide zesty trailers of fake horror films. Rodriguez's Planet Terror is a zombie thriller with some bloody fabulous effects; it's fast, icky and smart. You can skip the second feature: Tarantino's Death Proof, above center, offers an hour of gaseous girl talk and an inane...
