...half, then came out after the interval ready for payback. Les Bleus pushed, shoved, sprinted, and fought to stay alive, but the Dutch would have none of it. Substitute Robin van Persie wound up on the winning end of a series of fast-break passes, the last from fellow sub Arjen Robben, to put Holland in command in the 59th minute. The third goal came in the 72nd minute - just a minute after Thierry Henry had pulled a goal back for France. From there it was classic: France struggling to get into scoring range, then paying dearly with a furious...
...told to evacuate; a couple row-boating through their mobile home park in Altoona; an Iowa City police officer wading through water with a little boy on his shoulders; an astonishing aerial view of downtown Cedar Rapids where downtown buildings look like rafts in an ocean. But mostly, my fellow sandbaggers work quietly, diligently, steadily, shoveling sand, filling bags, heaving them into piles and hoping for the best while preparing for the worst...

Even more shocking, some of them were straight men. One had been laid off from his long-held job as a local-news producer...
...seem a little dull and shallow. The story strives so hard to make her unconflicted that she lacks the conflict a protagonist needs. Call Girl didn't need to make her a cautionary tale, but it might have benefited from a broader scope that told us more about her fellow escorts--those who don't, say, blithely name-drop Luis Buñuel flicks. In the Spitzer case, reporters eventually tracked down his regular date, "Kristen," an aspiring singer with a MySpace page. The drab details we glimpsed--would-be American Idol ends up with a bit part in Fallen Idol...
