...actually a former UC rep who became disillusioned with the student government and is now an “outsider.” That’s what’s called a “blend of experience with a critical perspective”—a phrase that leapt from Haddock’s mouth at least twice during a disappointing UC debate where the moderators, armed with smarm, outshined the back-slappingly platitudinous candidates. Taking the cake, however, from the debate fiasco was an epiphany of Voith’s. Wrap your mind around this...
...from a movie-making standpoint." On the other hand, it had to be a character-driven and intellectually acute thriller to satisfy her and Spielberg's ambitions for it. So "we knew and took the approach early on that we are not making a documentary." At some point the phrase "historical fiction" entered their conversations. They understood that they would have to compress and conflate some of their material. And, yes, do some inventing as well.

Navarro-Valls, who reportedly is at odds with Sodano, is still running the press office, but is less and less visible. Meanwhile, Benedict himself doesn't seem particularly preoccupied...
...Tiananmen Square.” Luckily, the usual gang of anti-Americans didn’t succeed at the Summit. Instead, there were a few vapid bureaucratic proclamations about healing the technology gap between rich and poor nations by bridging the “digital divide” (a phrase so overused that it, too, may require an acronym before long). So the Internet remains in the hands of George.WWW.Bush’s American Empire, and it seems safer, freer, and better for that.
