...BOOK WAS BETTER: Both a coming-of-age love story and a treatise on geisha manners and mores, the very long Arthur Golden book reveled in its very novelness. Fiction is the ideal medium for a life story. It can span generations and take lots of scenic detours, and the reader will usually stay along for the ride. A movie has to keep on truckin' down the narrative highway...
...planned recipe made Stove Top stuffing a best-selling comfort to harried mothers everywhere; of a heart attack; in Newburgh, Ind. Knowing that bread-crumb size held the key to liquid absorption--and thus "proper texture and mouthfeel," as the patent stated--she determined the precise dimensions of the ideal crumb--about those of a pencil eraser.

...Minister Ahmad Chalabi, referred to "the greasy residue on his r?sum?." Chalabi was responsible for erroneous information about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction as well as the notion that invading U.S. troops would be greeted as saviors by the Iraqis. Those missteps do not make him an ideal candidate to be the next Prime Minister of Iraq. Chalabi's renewed friendliness with the Bush Administration is his key qualification to be the Bush-approved Prime Minister of Iraq. Chalabi can be counted on to open Iraqi oil fields for business with American corporations and to attempt to jump...
