...past two years, the 53-year-old Berger, a lawyer, has remade the national security staff. He is a detail man who puts in 15-hour days and spends Sundays making lists of issues he wants to tackle. He has a keen eye for the domestic politics that shape foreign policy and offers up a range of views leading to different options. That satisfies the President's need to keep his own finger on the trigger...
...King (whose radio ads credit ginseng for his youthful, uh, glow) to professors of medicine and Wall Street investors.

...happening, so many stories one inside the other, with every link hiding yet more stories." Garuda's musings may be extended to the book itself, which is a collection of all the stories of Hindu mythology--some bizarre, some beautiful, many grotesque and all thoroughly engrossing--recast with an eye for the postmodern reader and his impatient but eager sensibilities. Taking a cue from the Mahabharata--a seminal Indian text containing many of the major stories of Hindu mythology--Roberto Calasso (here translated from the Italian by noted scholar Tim Parks) has combined the stories from all aspects and ages...
