What I mean is, every half an hour or so, a clanging, whistling length of rolling stock rumbles through on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks that slice the park lengthwise along its shoreline side. And just up from those tracks, running parallel to them, the park is cut again by the four lanes of Elliott Avenue, one of Seattle's major arteries. Together they split the slope into three long stretches connected by a land bridge over the roadway and a steel span crossing the tracks. So this isn't just a park in the city...
...Borat cavorting in fishnet underwear or speaking in tongues at a Pentecostal prayer meeting, a rodeo cowboy equating Arabs and Muslims with suicide bombers, or Borat's attempt to buy a handgun suitable for Jew-killing, would have tripped the censors' sensors. But Borat has gone almost the length of its commercial run without public outcry - and, as far as I could tell, without a single cut from the original. In a random sampling, Lebanese audiences laughed at the same moments as did those in New York, though film critics at a special preview arranged for the Lebanese press were...
Charles Spearin is the tallest member of Broken Social Scene, a Canadian indie-rock band. He’s also one of its founders, playing primarily bass but dabbling in other instruments on each of the band’s four full length albums.

On a rainy night before a concert in Providence, Spearin sat down for an interview with The Harvard Crimson, but one which he stipulated...
...Times Square visitors, the "ride" on New Year's Eve is about the same length - the shouting, singing and hugging at midnight - but it's preceded by eight or more hours of standing in the cold in one of those pens. So the pre-show comprises live and taped music acts and, at the top of each hour from 7 p.m. on, a countdown to zero second and a feed from whatever region (London, England; Ponta Verde, Brazil) is celebrating its midnight moment. That's when Treb's troops would fling into action, unfurling, say, the Mylar strips that blanketed...
...After his brief remarks, Edwards had a 15-minute press conference, where he acknowledged and discussed at length what he considers a major blunder. "My vote was a mistake and I should never have voted for this war," he said of the Iraq war, adding that the Bush Administration "has been an absolute disaster in the conducting of the war. But none of that changes or affects my responsibility. I'm responsible for what I did." He essentially promised to raise taxes, although he would focus the hikes on the wealthy and the profits of oil companies...
