...outside. He asked one of the soldiers, "Protect us from this man." The soldier replied, "Get away. Go home." Hamad noticed that one of the settlers was moving toward his house, with a soldier flanking him on either side. Using his knee, the settler smashed in one of the glass panes on Hamad's front door while the two soldiers stood...
Last week, sitting on a neighbor's screened porch with a view of Fort Sumter behind them, the two women recalled the beginning of their association and friendship. Advising unpublished writers is not Humphreys' glass of ice tea. "I found that I'm usually a hurt more than a help," she says. Yet she phoned Bolton and was immediately hooked by the voice she heard. "I loved its sound, bright and quick ... a strong story-telling voice," she says. Bolton had had only one other encounter with the literary world, when she contacted a vanity publisher whose...
With its towers, gaps and controlled riot of swooping curves, the new American Center in Paris unmistakably bears the mark of its designer, California architect Frank Gehry. Gehry's first famous building was his Santa Monica home -- a modest Dutch colonial, transformed so provocatively with corrugated metal, glass and chain link fence that it actually drew gunfire from an irate neighbor.

And that's where all the trouble really began...

Although she created a monster, she blames everyone else; in this through-the-looking-glass world, she may have a case. Rick Snyder's Jack Ruby is a guileless goof, jitterbugging with nervous / vacuity, forever asking the strippers at his nightclub if he is effeminate. A Mob intermediary tells him he will be a hero if he kills Oswald. He is, instead, another dupe. Malkovich rightly considers this an unfinished work. It is full of intriguing moments, but it is more confusing than...
