...Eighteen centimeters shorter and 20 kg lighter and, to state the obvious, Japanese, Notchi is not exactly a dead ringer for his muse. But he does bear a resemblance that is propped up by some signature moves: clenching his hand lightly and holding up his index finger while repeating, "Yes, we can! Change we need!"; stating, "My name is Obama!," while narrowing his eyes slightly and looking into the distance; and walking lightly with one hand in his pocket - a stance that has been praised by the security guards at Obama's Chicago home, who said that's exactly...
...Despite Vesper’s painfully felt absence, Bond still lets himself seduce fellow agent Strawberry Fields (no joke), while a tipsy Camille takes pleasure in haranguing Greene in front of several wealthy donors at a party. You could almost imagine the two dating. Forster’s trigger finger itches through the whole movie (I don’t think there are more than three conversations in “Quantum of Solace” that last longer than 45 seconds). He choreographs the action scenes with fluid deftness—cinematographer Roberto Schaefer racks up an impressive number...
Certainly there is no denying that the Windy City's storied political history is cartoonishly coarse and corrupt.

...world would not wait, and as the Inauguration approached, Hoover tried to force Roosevelt's hand: he wrote to enlist his help in calming investors; and he told a colleague that Roosevelt was a "madman" for not listening to him or lifting a finger to forestall a banking crisis, which began in mid-February. It guaranteed that Roosevelt took the oath of office amid such an atmosphere of crisis that Hoover had become the most hated man in America. There were rumors, as he left Washington, that he had been arrested trying to escape aboard Andrew Mellon's yacht with...
