...performs a single function and never deviates from that purpose. (As Philadelphia Phil, Rapaport spends almost all of his scant eight minutes of screen time chanting and jeering in a sports bar). Though the plot leaves a few loose ends, these work within the film’s internal logic. The Quantrell Bishop storyline is abandoned in order to focus on Paul’s meeting with Philadelphia Phil, but in the scope of the film, this makes sense. Paul never follows through on his commitments or interactions. He is content to simply let things go, so long...
...drug prices with producers; predictably, costs remain high. Freeing Medicare to bargain with Big Pharma would save the government an estimated $90 billion annually. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs pays lower drug costs than Medicare because it is allowed to negotiate drug prices—it defies logic that one government agency can negotiate with the pharmaceutical industry while another cannot...
...English, and while the book’s experimental nature makes its absence rather unsurprising, the arrival of its 105 pages is long overdue.To crystallize the plot of “Azorno” is to reduce the atmosphere that makes it beautiful and in which its quavering logic (and, in turns, illogic) dwells.

It is the question of which woman meets Azorno on page eight, page eight being that of the mysterious novel within the novel ostensibly. The eponymous Azorno...
...Arrivals” and “Diffusions” discuss the introduction and spread of English language influence, while “Poets” and “Shakespeares” analyze their title subjects in a variety of in-depth contexts.In explaining the logic behind such a shift, Donoghue says, “Pedagogically, we wanted to move away from mandatory, large lecture courses... We wanted to make it of a smaller size so that there would be more interaction between the professor and the student.” The English faculty and administration are currently working...
...bother with the tax? The logic for Europe is simple. The E.U. has pledged to slash greenhouse gas pollution by a fifth of 1990 levels by 2020. But the bloc's Emission Trading Scheme only covers around 40% of its emissions. The U.S. plan, by comparison, will cover roughly double that portion, says Simon Tilford, chief economist at the Centre for European Reform in London. (Unlike the U.S., Europe, didn't include the petroleum sector in its own scheme, preferring to more heavily tax the industry instead.) Extending the "fiendishly complicated" system, as Tilford calls it, would be enormously difficult...
