...dethrone him. None of the men mentioned as potential Prophets compare in stature, influence and charisma to Warren Jeffs. Even as he awaits another criminal trial in Kingman, Arizona, as an accomplice to child abuse, the lanky, long-faced 52-year-old with the wide-eyed, almost vacant gaze continues to hold sway over his outlaw community. The evidence was clear in Eldorado. When Texas officials searched the ranch, which was built on instruction from Jeffs, they found his portrait hanging everywhere. When child protective services caseworkers looked at the Books of Mormon clasped in the hands of FLDS children...

Thanks, but I could be having my own awkward dates and staring contests...
...book by Houellebecq's maman, Lucie Ceccaldi, 83. In it, Ceccaldi calls her boy a liar, impostor, and parasite "ready to do whatever it takes to attain fortune and fame." Excerpts and previews of the tell-all tome have generated major interest in France, as critics and readers alike gaze upon the spectacle of the nation's most famously jaded and cynical Bohemian being ridiculed in public by a mother who admits in disgust: "I don't want to hear about him any more...
