...doesn't work the way some people think it does. TIME: Why did you focus your book around Moses? Kushner: I wanted to give people a more rounded picture of Moses, not simply the triumphant hero who splits the sea and works the miracles, but Moses the man who fails and perseveres, who gets over frustration and rejection. I don't need to learn from Moses how to split the Red Sea. I need to learn from Moses how to fail and not see myself as a failure. TIME: How is your view of Moses different from traditional portrayals? Kushner...
...slight disappointment stems from some of the narratives themselves. Although several stories are vintage Decemberists, others fail to live up to the band’s lofty standards.

He began his career as a crusading anticommunist but turned out to be the statesman who reached out to the Soviet Union and Red China. My concern is not whether Abe will patch things up with Japan's neighbors but how he will...
...world, having practically invented the cheap-chic mass market. Disabled Americans are sitting there with $176 billion, and though it pains me personally to admit this, the number of people whose aging eyes make reading websites tough is growing every day. How could executives of Target fail to see the overwhelming benefit of making Target.com accessible to this market...
