...said. “I’m going to read it now! I hope they’ve seen the movie!” The audience laughed in response. Despite the heavy subject matter of the film, McCarthy seemed to move from serious issues, such as immigration, to lighter topics with relative ease. Whatever the political nuances that viewers may draw from his latest picture, McCarthy sees his film principally as a form of entertainment, which aims to be as gripping as possible. “My job is to tell a good story and have people disappear into...
Dark Suits, Buttoned Up Give or take the odd photo opportunity, such as a recent kickabout with French President Nicolas Sarkozy at the Arsenal soccer stadium in London, Brown's lighter side is seldom on display when he meets foreign leaders.

(OK, actually, my first sip was dominated by notes of overwhelming pain, because of the universal takeout practice of boiling coffee like the cauldrons of Hell so it arrives at its destination warm.) The lighter roast results in some brighter notes, but it also gives you a less full-bodied coffee - yet one that still tasted a little overboiled. (Maybe I'd caught the pot toward the end of its 30-minute shelf life...
