...grapples with insurgencies in Iraq, and internecine fighting rages on in places like Darfur, the renewal of hostilities in Sri Lanka offers some lessons as to why civil wars are so hard to end. Part of the problem is that fratricidal disputes are often personal and heartfelt. "Both sides see themselves as being locked in a fight against evil," Jehan Perera, executive director of the National Peace Council of Sri Lanka, wrote in a recent appraisal of his country's war. This fight is part ethnic, part religious and wholly vicious. "It is the belief in the unchanging nature...
...actors’ emotions. A WIDE BASE Viglione also stressed the importance of finding value and inspiration in every musical genre, even those that seem far away from his own area of expertise. He says his favorite genre is “anything that is passionate, dynamic, and heartfelt.” His list of favorite composers ranges from John Coltrane and Miles Davis to Mozart and Ravel.

...special. What the album really lacks is an element of surprise. After a few seconds of listening, it is pretty obvious where each song is going. “New Year’s Day” for instance, sounds like Matchbox 20 pop, but without the originality or heartfelt verses to back up its muscle-bound choruses. The album is not entirely a lost cause. The latter tracks offer more depth than the dry and predictable first half. A few nuanced production details earn the band some style points, like the cool Rhodes solo conclusion...
