...trip ends in the stillness of faux orbit where the payload bays open to reveal a state-of-the-art graphic of Earth in a stunning view very few people have ever seen firsthand. Air sickness bags are conspicuously absent. Unlike an astronaut-training simulator or other virtual reality systems which allow multiple degrees of stomach-turning motion - forward and backward, up and down, side to side, pitch, roll and yaw - this simulator only allows for pitch. But in clever combination with a powerful Buttkicker audio system, which lets riders feel sound, strong vibrations, timed seat compressions and video cues...
...surprise. Army General John Abizaid, chief of the U.S. Central Command that oversees Iraq, told TIME that after learning of the abuses in January, he sent word of it to General Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Though military investigators had been aware for months that graphic photos existed, Pentagon officials showed no particular urgency in finding out how bad they were or informing anyone else about them.

The worse things went in this country, the more graphic the war stories dominating Soviet TV and cinema screens each spring, the state sparing no effort to sell its tale of how "the people rallied around the Party during the Hitlerite invasion and saved the world." The point, of course, was that the people had to continue rallying around...
...world where sinister forces pursuing sinister ends are constantly calculating against him. Palahniuk’s exploration of death in the novel is almost giddy. He fills “Rant” with epidemiology, historical accounts of widespread disease, and grisly segments of “DRVR Radio Graphic Traffic Reports.” His characterization is as unfocused as his narrative, the characters become broadly defined, often horrific and vulgar, and capable of nearly anything in and outside the bounds of normal reality. Although far from an easy read, “Rant” is a suprisingly...
