...when her self-sampling produces an abrupt and jagged effect that detracts from the tune’s flow. And even this poorly-conceived experiment isn’t bad, precisely; it’s just a pity that obtrusive digital effects overshadow her beautiful voice. This is not innovative or challenging music. Neither is it particularly substantive. Yet with “Son,” Molina proves that, on rare occasions, light music can also be great music. The joy of this album is the joy of simple things...
...intifada has proven repeatedly that Palestinian militancy is driven by economic instability and social frustration. If international donors follow through on their threat to cut aid to the Palestinian government, Hamas may be doomed to failure. But, the immediate consequences of an aid cut for the Palestinian people will overshadow the long-term consequences for the Hamas government.

While all these factors may ultimately be important in this case, and are certainly pertinent to Raleigh-Durham and the nation, the manner in which the media has portrayed the case has allowed these secondary issues to overshadow the facts of the case. A recent New York Times article, for example, contained allegations that the members of the lacrosse team had been spotted at a local bar on a recent Saturday night (while vigils were occurring on campus) and that the coach had scheduled a practice which had caused...
...presence of Malcolm X in the novel surprisingly does not overshadow the other characters. The depiction of Malcolm Little—called “Red” by the dodgy crowd into which he predictably falls prey—as a young boy in Harlem is, at first, somewhat generic. He is the archetypal young arrival to the city that “wanted to see everything, to find whatever there was to find,” but manages only to find crime and a drug-induced stupor...
