...childhood abuse, the secret self-loathing, the I've-been-to-paradise-but-I've-never-been-to-me regret. It never does. Oh, Belle/Hannah's life is more complicated than she first lets on. She hides her work from her family and her best friend/ex-boyfriend Ben (Iddo Goldberg). She has vague literary ambitions and is aware that hers is a job without a long future. And despite the high-class, clean-and-safe veneer, she has to call her agency on each date with a code phrase--"No problemo"--to confirm her client isn't Jack the Ripper...
...Obama responded quickly and definitively to McCain's attack. He told Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, "I've repeatedly condemned [Hamas]. I've repeatedly said ... since [Hamas] is a terrorist organization, we should not be dealing with them until they recognize Israel, renounce terrorism and abide by previous agreements."

...creative process. Her piece, entitled “Ein von Viel”—which translates to “one of many”—was a male duet set to selections from J.S. Bach’s “The Goldberg Variations.” The use of an onstage pianist, Freda Locker, was successful; the dancers incorporated but never overshadowed her playing. During brief moments of silence, they would subtly communicate with a nod of the head or a shared sense of timing...
...serial killer. The evil genius with a sadistic streak, who plays mind games with his victims and the police, has replaced the criminal mastermind of old dime novels. Instead of tying the heroine to the railroad tracks (these days, the train would never arrive), he straps them into Rube Goldberg contraptions that slowly rip their fingernails off and tear their dignity to shreds. We live in a cruel world, but this is one area of criminality where fiction has long outstripped fact. According to the folks at Wikipedia - and those obsessive list-makers have to be trusted here - there have...
