...Adore the Snore I enjoyed your piece "The Snore Wars" [Sept. 1]. I would like to share a remarkable discovery I made while traveling the country for several months a year selling Australian Stock Saddles and sharing hotel rooms with a male colleague with a snore like an outboard motor. You cannot win a snore war by fighting the noise. But you can win by embracing the sound. Simply set your breathing rhythm to the rhythm of the snore, and the sound becomes a sleep aid. Now I like it when my colleague goes to sleep first because I fall...
...hardly seems the perfect candidate for a Muslim-majority democracy. Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim spent six years in jail, charged with corruption and sodomy. Earlier this year, he was again slapped with a sex charge when a male former aide accused the 61-year-old politician of rape. But on Aug. 26 Malaysia's most charismatic politician completed a stunning political comeback by winning a parliamentary seat in a by-election in his home state of Penang.

Schmidt has vowed not to serve in a McCain White House, saying he wants to return to California, where he hopes one day to finish college so he can teach high school history and coach teenagers.

He praised Hawks especially "because he shows a maximum speed, inner life, and view, with the least amount of flat foot." Manny's celebration of action directors took a while to kick in - it had to be doubled or seconded...
...testify to his originality in film criticism, and to his influence, certainly in the acceptance of the "male action film." Carrie Rickey called him "a man's man, and some of Manny's preference for Hawks and Walsh films over the warmer, daintier ones of, say, George Cukor, may reflect a man's impatience with women's problems and their need to talk about them. You could say his take prefigures today's movies, where women are absent or subservient and guys get to do guy things...
