Even in a serene, sunlit atelier on Paris' Left Bank, the life-size paintings propped against the wall cast a pall of terror. A hulking dog snarls with bared fangs over a naked man lying bloodied and bound on a concrete floor. Naked, hooded bodies lie entangled in a pile. A blindfolded prisoner stands in women's red underwear. The paintings need no titles. The scenes of abuse by U.S. military prison guards in Abu Ghraib, west of Baghdad, are unmistakable, almost as much as the painter's style itself.

...friend. "Older brothers are not going to cut you any slack. If you say something stupid, you figure, next time, I'm going to be better at it."

The creation of Smuttynose Brewing Company, based in New Hampshire, this ale is perhaps the tastiest, widely available brown in America...
...this third film in the Mad Max cycle had stopped there, it might have been some kind of low, visionary masterpiece. But "beyond Thunderdome" lies only preacherly anticlimax. Cast out into the wilderness for failing to live up to Barter-town's dog-eat-dog code, Max is rescued by a tribe of lost children as the savior their mythology has promised them. When the talk drags, he leads them on a crusade of the innocents against Aunty and her crowd...
