The trio recalls the writing process--which did not go well--with uncomfortable courtesy, as if they're afraid to say anything that might be misconstrued as an insult and regurgitated later. "There were a lot of crackheads near Sam's recording studio," says Zinner. That is the nicest thing he has to offer about the making of the album...

"The most amazing thing is that Yushchenko himself co-authored my story - and failed to realize this," Leshchenko told me at the time. "It was only...

Indeed, in France - where the word consensus is not exactly common usage, and the word reformist is considered an insult - confrontation always seems inevitable. Whether the First Employment Contract (cpe), the measure intended to encourage job creation by allowing employers to more easily dismiss the young staffers they take on, is good or bad is beside the point.
