...sets fall into two categories: too comprehensive or not comprehensive enough. Count this four-disc companion to the PBS music documentary among the latter. Sixty-eight tracks is plenty for an individual act but a mere freshman introduction to American roots music. With limited breadth, the curatorial choices are critical. There's not a false step on the Country and Blues discs, with room for both the obvious (B.B. King, Hank Williams) and the exuberantly obscure (Whistler's Jug Band?). But while the Cajun, Tejano and Native American selections are individually clever, their close proximity emphasizes similarity rather than...
...Kunduz from the decimated fronts at Mazar-i-Sharif and Taloqan had their supply lines and escape routes cut off. They had two options: surrender to the Uzbek and Tajik rebels or face death. As Taliban soldiers squabbled over whether to negotiate or fight--the Arabs arguing for the latter--U.S. B-52s on Saturday pulverized them while Alliance commanders promised to attack.

Confined to his house, Gates spent much of his time sifting through censuses, attempting to establish the actual existence of characters within the novel...
Just as there are two types of families, sad and happy ones, there are two types of radio talk shows, strident and chatty ones. The Satellite Sisters belong in the latter category in both instances. Five sisters (Julie, 46, Liz, 44, Sheila, 43, Monica, 42, and Lian, 36), or half the entire Dolan family, they can be heard cheerfully chewing the fat every week on public radio...
