...first it appeared that Holder would carry the day. "I have complete confidence in the American people and our legal traditions and the prosecutors, the tough prosecutors from New York, who specialize in terrorism," Obama said after the announcement. In private he was even more supportive of Holder. When Obama met with Graham in early December, the Senator laid out his case against civilian trials. But the President said he thought Holder had the better side of the argument. "I just agreed to disagree with the President on that issue," Graham told TIME...
...doesn't really matter that gourmet food trucks were busting out in American cities a few years before Choi parked his first food truck, in November 2008. Or that short-rib tacos weren't even his idea. (A former co-worker's sister-in-law, Alice Shin, had read about a homemade version on a food blog and, as Kogi's publicist, helped hype them through masterful Twitter and website work, which turned the truck's mysterious whereabouts into a hipster happening.)

The result, however, is clean and intimate--the sound of a duo making music as much for themselves as for an audience. The first single, "In the Sun," is upbeat and danceable, but the standout track is "Thieves"--a brokenhearted love song so timeless that it could have come from Patsy Cline herself...
