...news broke to the public at 3:37 a.m. Washington time, with the first "flash" from The Associated Press since the death of Pope John Paul II in April 2005. But the President had learned of it 11 hours earlier, in an Oval Office meeting with a few top aides. White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley told Bush that "there had been a strike in Baquba and they thought that they had gotten al-Zarqawi." Snow said the President responded with understatement: "That would be a good thing." Bush appeared relieved and pleased...

Summers had phoned to say he thought “Shaniqua,” a flash animation created by Wilson, was funny. (Summers, through a spokesman, confirmed that he had called Wilson.)

Again," she replies. These flash-forwards reveal the lasting effect on Miriam, who barely remembers any of the events depicted in the book. For her, leading a purely secular life is the only answer to the atrocities she and her mother experienced...
...revealing flash emerged as Costello, projector clicker at the ready, was explaining the Budget to sequestered reporters on May 9. Searching for a word to sum up the changes to superannuation, he thought for a few beats, then settled on "radical." It was Costello looking down the time tunnel; the exact image of the landscape and people out there in 2040 was elusive, but he seemed happy with the shape of the outcome. The moment passed and the Treasurer went back to the script. But radical was a description Costello was burdened with-or guided by-for two decades...
