...deeper examination, that unshakable faith in New York’s cultural supremacy now seems to have had very little to support it. Most of these literary heroes are ghosts of the city’s past; no comparable, coherent intellectual movement or community of thinkers appears to exist in New York today. Publications are under threat, writers working in the city are paid little or nothing for their efforts, and the kind of lavish book-signing bashes that made Fitzgerald an alcoholic haven’t existed for decades.

Tsvangirai said it was plain that Mugabe's party, the Zimbabwean African National Union (ZANU-PF), had no intention of relinquishing control and forming a functioning government. "It is our right to disengage from a dishonest and unreliable partner," Tsvangirai said in Harare.
