...ghosts crowd in, the definition of my experience of Herr Widener will dissolve. But then maybe I catch a whiff of a smell that calls back those aged books in the stacks, and I remember the touch of their pages and the rustle of papers in Loker and the echo that my boots made walking over the uncarpeted marble floors, and it all feels much closer...
Three Law School colleagues characterized Kagan’s management style as “very Washington,” an echo of her previous administrative experience in government as Thurgood Marshall’s clerk and former President Bill Clinton’s Associate White House Counsel...
Some of the highlights of Here Lies Love echo the records Imelda might have danced to at New York discothques a few decades earlier. "Ladies in Blue," a tribute to the pill-popping entourage that surrounded the "Iron Butterfly," as she was known, recalls the cooing stomp of ABBA; Kate Pierson of the B-52s belts "The Whole Man" as if it's one of her own hits.

The same complaints echo off the rubble piles from the capital's bidonvilles to its more affluent suburbs: lack of response, of leadership, of a plan. "If I look around, it's like we don't have a government," says Sineus Edner, 56, a Port-au-Prince security guard. "For me, I'd rather vote for [U.S. President Barack] Obama. We heard from him [after the quake] before we heard...
