...same principle holds true for “River of Breaklights,” in which Casablancas mindlessly chants, “Getting the hang of it, timing is everything,” over a generic, messy background of drums and guitar. Casablancas holds to the false impression on “Phrazes” that a fast tempo alone always conveys a sense of urgency or energy. He fell victim to similar problems on his later Strokes songwriting—think “Juicebox”—and has failed to correct such issues...
...referendums about the party in power, Republicans know that if they have any shot at regaining the majority, they have to give voters a reason to pull the lever for them. Most observers who track congressional races predict Democratic losses of 20 seats or more, and the latest generic matchups by Rasmussen polls show Republicans leading Democrats 42% to 38%. Still, Democrats control the House by a margin of 40 seats, so taking back the House would require a pretty major wave of discontent over the next year. And while polls show that Americans are first and foremost concerned with...

This is due both to the excellence of Kinsley’s performance and to the innovative angle Federman takes on the character.

One of the morals of Richard’s story in the original Shakespeare is that too much femininity is detrimental to kingship. Unfortunately, despite bold direction and excellent performances, an excess...
...other side has resources of its own. The biggest generic-drug company, Teva Pharmaceuticals, has spent more than $2 million on lobbying and also sponsored academic work on the issue, aiming to disprove Duke's Grabowski. Generic-drug manufacturers are allied with such powerful organizations as AARP, labor unions, insurance companies, health-maintenance organizations and health-reform advocacy groups. There will be fights on the House and Senate floors and ultimately a House-Senate conference committee, on which Waxman will be a key voice. "The war is not over," he has warned. "If you know me at all, you know...
