...York's Cuomo does have the authority to bring criminal cases involving securities violations under the Martin Act, which gives the attorney general of New York the power to prosecute financial fraud. And it is not unheard of for executives to go to jail for lying on a proxy statement. In the 1970s, in a famous Wall Street fraud case, the chief executive of National Student Marketing was sentenced to 18 months in jail for lying about the finances of a company National Student Marketing was acquiring. Yet Cuomo has typically stuck to bringing civil charges against executives and companies...
...recreate that kind of sound individually, singing between tenor and contralto through a rather liberal use of reverb. He successfully generates an effect of androgyny, but the vocals can feel insincere as a result. HEALTH’s originality has always been most evident in the sheer force and power of their sound. Their 2007 eponymous debut album was unrelenting in its fury, the repetitive, ear-splitting synths enhanced by maniacal drumming that would put most thrash bands to shame.

The missile-shield decision will confirm fears that Washington's power to roll back Russian influence in the region is waning...
...every Czech feels this way. Proponents of the radar - mostly conservative politicians from the former center-right government that recently lost power - are openly angry with the decision and are concerned that the U.S. has acquiesced to Russia's demands that the system be scrapped. Ex-Premier Mirek Topolanek, whose government fell in March, said the decision showed that the U.S. no longer cares about the security of central Europe. While in power, Topolanek had supported the system against public opinion, because he felt the presence of U.S. military technology was a physical manifestation of the determination that central Europe...
