...victims of Milosevic's cruelty would howl that such a man should enjoy such comforts. The true solace will come only when the realization of what he has done finally hits Milosevic, and the enormity of his crimes begins to haunt him the way it does his victims, each day for the rest of his life
Every so often, that is to say, about once a year, the Japanese press gets excited about Western school textbooks. More specifically, the press gets excited about the way Japan and the Japanese are depicted in Western school textbooks. A collective howl goes up over the fact that pictures of samurai and geisha still prevail in textbooks from Louisiana or Bavaria or Scotland or wherever.

These findings are often followed by instant soundings taken in Paris or Chicago to find out what Westerners really think...
...Hearing Raph Nader?s name used to drive corporate lobbyists crazy. Now it is the consumer advocate?s old friends who howl at its mention.

Stock down 92% from its peak, with no end to the freefall in sight? Ya-hooey...
...sound of his own voice, To Record bears no traces of the occasional frightened yodeling that marred his earlier recordings. Not concerned with commercial prettiness, Frusciante immerses himself completely, and the result is some of the most emotional and expressive rock singing in recent memory (witness the alternation between howl and wavering falsetto on "In Rime"). He's helped by his lyrics, which are evocative and thankfully never too random. Largely despondent, lines like "Oh please take us / We're wrong / We live now to relive on and on" repeatedly hint at his past...
