...this book. You refer to his as "Mr. Disposable Income." After researching this book, did your perception of him change? I couldn't fathom why someone would pay that much money for a single bottle. It was akin to buying a rare Picasso, and then taking out of its frame and putting it on your college dorm wall. What I found out later is the gentleman was celebrating, he had just made a lot of money on stocks. And I thought that was great because, clearly, it's a god-awful amount of money to spend...

Ri Myung-guk, the mop-haired beanpole of a goalkeeper, seemed to characterize that alienation, his shoulder-padded jersey far too large for his alarmingly skinny frame, and his sweat pants - always a fashion faux-pas in the football world - pulling up short across his shins.

He never feels pushed into a scene as if he's a Hollywood actor; most of the time he actually seems like a guy who somehow just wandered into the frame. But he's so confident that I think it actually put Will in this great position of being the straight man and setting Danny up. Will didn't have to score every time, and actually most of the times we had to stop a take, it was because Will...
...policies that many Muslims around the world would like to see the United States pursue," explained Jon Alterman, a former State Department adviser, at a recent forum in Washington. "We're going to have to agree to disagree, and that's the first task for the President - to frame U.S. policy in a way that takes some of the passion out of the widespread hostility for the United States."
