...Darkness; assumed (wrongly) by liberals to be Bush lackey. Always a war skeptic; complained that Armitage treated him "with disdain" in years before the leak. Will write must-read (in Washington) columns until they pry his keyboard from his cold, dead hands. "Scooter" Libby Cheney's Cheney; sly neo-con breakfast confidant of reporter Judy Miller; the only one indicted in the affair. Charged with lying about his chat with Tim Russert; turns out the cliché is true--it really is the cover-up! If he's convicted, prison could provide material for The Inmate, a sequel to first novel...
...have had their fun with it; no genre has attracted more scholarly attention in recent years. And we've had our fun with it too; the DVD re-releases of its classic titles and cult favorites have been delicious reminders of noir's wonderfully stylized strengths. And some of neo-noir's best titles, from Chinatown through The Grifters, have been real additions to the American canon.

Neo-Nazis - along with many Russians who would genuinely feel insulted if they were called Nazis - interpreted this statement in the same way Belyayev did - as a virtual license to attack. I heard it from officers who fought in Chechnya often enough...
...true that on the eve of the G-8 Summit, Putin's government had to show that it had cleaned up St. Petersburg; the police shot dead a 22-year-old skinhead, named as a neo-Nazi leader, charged with a blatant murder of an African student and resisting arrest. But despite that show of force, hate assaults did not cease either in St. Petersburg or elsewhere. A week after the G-8 summit, the jury at the St. Petersburg City Court acquitted four nationalists charged with the deadly assault of an African student. The gallery applauded and shouted "well...
