...soft-spoken gift for ingratiation. This he employed to worm his way into the confidence of the Hell's Angels, the outlaw motorcycle gang, becoming a participant-observer in their rites and rituals and writing about them acutely in what I think remains his best book. There followed his Fear and Loathing books about Las Vegas and the political campaign of 1972. These books had their moments, of course, but there was something hysterical about the expression of his loves and hates in them as well - and there is something winking and indulgent in the comments Gibney has collected from...
Sarkozy's plan is, in any event, hardly racing along. The French proposal was originally meant to encompass only the 19 countries along the Mediterranean rim. But Merkel led a push to include all E.U. nations, a move that many fear could dilute what was already something grandly ambitious.

...however, public finance advocates fear that Democratic candidate Barack Obama's decision to change his position and forgo all public funding may signal an end to Roosevelt's apparatus for good. Obama, who would get about $84 million in public funds for the general election, stands to raise hundreds of millions more through private donations. The Illinois Senator contends he'll need that money to fend off attacks from tax-exempt advocacy organizations - known as 527 groups, after the section of the tax code under which they are formed - which, Obama said, will spend "millions and millions of dollars...
