...level best to rock the house, but it's not an easy house to rock. He's onstage at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, it's 11 in the morning, and his audience is largely white and overwhelmingly nerdy. West rips through All Falls Down and Gold Digger, but he barely gets a head bob out of those people. When he raps, "If you aint no punk, holla 'We want prenup!,'" not a single, solitary soul hollas back...
...campaign, Mohammadi is worried about how she will pay for the next batch. She estimates that she has already spent at least $2,000, more than six times her monthly salary as a midwife. The financial burden?which she has covered in part by selling all of her gold jewelry, aside from her wedding ring?will only increase as the poll nears. The election commission grants each candidate airtime at local radio stations?a female candidate's best bet for getting her name out?but production of a good campaign commercial is costly. Still, Mohammadi and her husband believe...
...fresco cycle; but Condivi did not say what medium these touches were in. Giorgio Vasari (1511-74), whose Lives of Italian artists is a fundamental source on the Sistine, describes how "Michelangelo desired to retouch some parts a secco, painting backgrounds, draperies and skies in ultramarine, and ornaments in gold."

Combined with the present-day memories of old people who could vividly recall the arrival of the gold-seeking Australian Leahy brothers and their "giant bird" planes, the effect was hypnotic. Joe Leahy's Neighbours (1989) followed, charting the struggle of Mick Leahy's mixed-race son Joe to be both a traditional bigman and a modern businessman running a lucrative coffee plantation on Ganiga land. The cash economy...
...mellowed. In 2000, he angered conservatives by personally penning the opinion upholding Miranda v. Arizona, the decision requiring police to read those they take into custody their rights, a ruling he had earlier savaged. Rehnquist took his job very seriously, writing books and donning special judicial robes with raised gold stripes. But his greatest skill was unseen. In an increasingly fractious political era--mirrored in the court's many split decisions--he had the emotional temperament to build majorities and keep the court functioning. That is no small qualification for the person who replaces...
