...made their influences so successful. The album starts with a limp minute-long guitar intro, hardly the punch in the face that any over-worked A&R talent scout would find appealing. A number of consecutive songs are in the exact same key and tempo, making it difficult to discern one song from the next. Shopping an album like this around, the duo might have difficulty getting signed, let alone selling out arenas anytime soon.

...determine that garnets with which a French queen was laid to rest had Indian origins. The garnets were set in cloisonne, and French garnets rarely are set that way. Perin traced its origins and Calligaro employed particle induced x-ray emission, or PIXE, a technique that accelerates particles, to discern the elements in the different garnets by their movement. Because garnets of different elements are found in different locations, the researchers were able to conclude that they, indeed, were of Indian origin. In addition to the lecture series, McCormick said he has other plans to bolster medieval studies over...

Under Bill Clinton, he pushed to reinvent the massive federal bureaucracy and wire every classroom to the Internet. In his unsuccessful 2000 presidential campaign, Gore once even considered...
Before all of that there is this man-to-man exercise, the palpable event of settling into one of those big, brown leather chairs (Reagan carefully studied the advance pictures of the stark Reykjavík meeting room) and looking into the eyes of Mikhail Gorbachev and trying to discern what they are saying even as strange language tumbles out of his lips and is unscrambled by an interpreter between them...
