...lifelong Democrat, I have wallowed in the luxury of voting against some of the most unappealing politicians in American history, starting with Richard Nixon and ending (so far) with George W. Bush. I am surely going to vote against McCain, but it is going to take work, and there will be moments of doubt. This will be no fun. Doubts are for independents...
...Mohammad Fayaz, a doctor who six years ago derided to follow his lifelong dream of becoming a Pashtu movie direc tor, the recent threats are a new blow to an already unstable industry. Indian imports and the rise of cable television have eroded box-office takes for several years. People worry that cinema halls will be the next target of extremists, he says.

Veltroni even gets a mention in Ian McEwan's best-selling novel Saturday...
...mannered and eloquent members of the Harvard community in attendance into a raving pack of grunting and shouting Neanderthals. The crowd assembled in the Kirkland basement was probably pretty representative of any group of Harvard students who watched the Super Bowl last night. The majority were New England fans, lifelong and bandwagon alike, with a sprinkling of true Giants fans supplemented by a sizeable amount of Patriots-haters and a decent portion of those just there to watch the game because, well, that’s what one does on Super Bowl Sunday. Supporters of both teams exhausted themselves...
