Brazilians, including President Luiz In??cio Lula da Silva, assailed the church for hewing to doctrine despite extreme mitigating circumstances--the child, who was carrying twins, had allegedly been raped by her stepfather.

Once outside...
...surprising that many of the lyrics on “It’s Blitz!” describe love and sex. At times, O delivers lines of barely disguised innuendo, such as “The beast that I lie beneath is coming in?? in “Dull Life.” That track—one of the few songs that prominently features the otherwise downplayed guitar—comes at the midpoint of the album and is one of the album’s most immediately exciting songs.
