...fame and glamour of sound editors. Anna flinched at that idea because apparently the relationship between sound mixers and editors is a little tense. So I suggested coming up with a list of people she wasn't going to thank, including the stars and director, since they would never thank the sound mixer. Anna said she'd like to avoid antagonizing J.J. Abrams, the powerful director of Star Trek. But she at least agreed to cut her list down so she was thanking only Abrams and to admit in the speech that she's doing it only...
...book's title is an allusion to Obama's American Apology Tour, Romney's catch-all phrase for the president's habit of copping to perceived (or actual) U.S. shortcomings. "Never before in American history has its president gone before so many foreign audiences to apologize for so many American misdeeds, both real and imagined," he writes.

"It's permissible, I've just never seen it." How busy Frumin will be will depend on how many amendments Republicans file. Dove's worst year for reconciliation was 1995, when he threw out more than 300 amendments, many related to a Medicaid block grant program Republicans were trying to ram through reconciliation. President Bill Clinton ended up vetoing that bill in part due to his opposition...
...Swat, but the real challenge lies ahead: how to rebuild a fiercely independent tribal society that has been shredding apart since the 1980s, when the Soviet war in Afghanistan brought in legions of revolutionary preachers and militants - armed with guns, money and the austere Salafist doctrine of Islam - who never departed...
