...kudos for reinstilling a bipartisan spirit into the state's traditionally centrist politics. What's more, the summit adds to the state's feeling that it's become a national agenda-setter, especially after Crist and the legislature recently moved Florida's presidential primary to the front of the pack by scheduling it in January. Presidential candidates "are crawling all over the state now," Crist says. They're listening harder, he adds, to Florida-sensitive issues like a national catastrophe fund for disasters like hurricanes. And now, he hopes, they'll put Florida at center stage on global warming...
Indeed, Bruguiere has over the years become a recognizable icon in the world of international counter-terrorism: the dapper, pipe-smoking, sleuth whose doggedness and efficiency hunting terror masterminds forced him to pack a Magnum to fend off attacks on his own life. (In recent years, he's swapped the gun for round-the-clock bodyguards, although the nickname it earned him, "The Sheriff," has stuck.) He was known as a hands-on investigator who would literally picked through wreckage of a downed airliner, or rent a boat to enter Libya to investigate the agents he accused of blowing...

Black Power say their gang was formed in response to a series of rapes committed by the Mongrel Mob. When the attackers demanded, "Who are you to challenge us?" the opposing men called back, "We are Black Power." The feud between the two continues today...
...functionality. But this hasn’t stopped me in the past week from putting together a layered potato, blue cheese, pear, fennel, and caramelized onion timbale; whipping up apricot cupcakes or concocting a spring pasta with chicken sausage, artichoke hearts, red pepper, eggplant, and zucchini. I hand-pack my own hamburgers; I’ve creamed, broiled, double-boiled, sifted, folded (gently), tossed, scalded, and celebrated. The family I’m housesitting for has stood by and watched in awestruck incredulity as I tear through their kitchen like a possessed Tasmanian devil...
