...name Sarah Palin for her genius at annoying all the right people. I haven't seen liberals so enraged by a woman since me. Once John McCain was nominated, the election was a snoozefest until our hero bounded out of the Alaskan tundra. Palin is wildly interesting, charismatic and charming, so Democrats fixated on her inexperience--meaning she is only five times as experienced as our next President...
...wall of a Swiss bank vault. Fortunately, I then had access to his letters, and a human being began to come alive for me. Going back to your question, I’m really only interested in writing about people whose works I consider to be marked by genius. For me, Le Corbusier’s architecture was fascinating, and that’s what sparked my curiosity about Le Corbusier the human being. THC: Why is yours the first in-depth biography ever written about such a legendary architect and artist? NFW: I think people were afraid...

Although she reminds us repeatedly that we will never know the playwright or the definitive answer to the problems Shylock presents, Garber brings us as close as possible to this Elizabethan genius of theater. It’s a good thing that the book focuses on these better known works, as a lack of familiarity with one or more of the plays will diminish the amount of insight that one can glean. Knowing at least the basic plot proves necessary for full appreciation...
...disco orchestration. There are even a cappella background vocals in “This Is Your Life.” Producer Stuart Price—whose résumé includes work with Madonna and Seal—attempts to mix this hodgepodge of new sound into something resembling genius. Yet Price, coveted for his work in electronica remixing and producing, is only somewhat successful in this task. Certain songs on this album, such as “Joy Ride” and “The World We Live In,” incorporate such a circus variety...
