...artist - need a touch of the lunatic about them. But only a touch. In the end they are obliged to produce. And they are obliged not to succumb to, or to excessively encourage, their own myths. Thanks in part to Thompson's example, journalists are now free to enter the stories they are telling, and that, on the whole, is a good thing. But it is not the only thing - and it does not grant the writer freedom to become the story. I think Gonzo, which is wonderfully rich in historical footage, needs some skeptics, some voices suggesting that maybe...

...sodomized a 23-year-old male aide. Anwar vehemently denied the allegations, which he denounced as political smear tactics fabricated by a coalition government in danger of losing power for the first time since Malaysia gained independence, in 1957. The charges, which have sidetracked Anwar's plans to re-enter Parliament, echo those preceding his 1998 imprisonment for sodomy.

Sodomy is punishable in the Muslim-majority nation by up to 20 years behind bars...

...make of that what you will. But I think there will be less opportunity to commune with Eliasson's cascades, which are located mostly in places it's not that easy to reach by foot or bicycle, than there was with the easily accessed Gates, which you could enter simply by stepping into Central Park...

...when Maliki and Sadr, for whom Sadr City has long been a political stronghold, struck a peace agreement in mid-May, the situation took a turn for the better. Under the deal, Iraqi forces were allowed to enter the district to pursue wanted criminals, so long as they abstained from "random" arrests, and the U.S. military stayed on the outskirts. In return, Sadr asked his Mahdi Army to lay down their weapons...
