...that libertarian thing was, when all is said and done, just an adjective; Safire was a true conservative, and a partisan one too, biffing in print, and not always fairly, political opponents from Bert Lance to Hillary Clinton. He was a cheerleader for some of the more outlandish justifications for the Iraq war, like the supposed link between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, though commentators like David Corn - a former Washington editor of the Nation - delighted in pointing out that the Times' reporting in its news pages had the habit of undercutting the claims that Safire was advancing as fact...
...artist: Guatemalan Luis Gonzáles Palma.The exhibition, “Hierarchies of Intimacy,” will run through October 25. “Intimacy” is presented as one cohesive collection, but is actually divided between small, sepia-toned images and much larger color digital prints. The Kodalite photographs of the former category, mounted on peeled gold leaf on top of bright red paper, exude a sense of intimacy. In contrast, Palma’s digital photographs feel artificial. The surrealist elements Palma is known for including in his art are integrated well in the Kodalite images...
...President Hamid Karzai, may yet emerge as the first-round winner, even though his loyalists were the most brazen vote riggers.

In the age of the e-book and the Amazon Kindle, it is refreshing to see the actual object of the book itself revived and sustained rather than replaced and forgotten. That said, the increased access to books—especially to more seasoned titles—that the machine creates will appeal to an older generation of readers that...
...course the Harvard Book Store’s “Espresso Book Machine” is an easy thing to criticize. After all, is it a solution to the print media crisis or to the problem of reading in the information age? Hardly—no matter how innovative the machine may be, its novelty must not distract us from the goal of making more texts available online. Isn’t it flawed? Absolutely—it would be nice if arrangements could be made with authors and publishers to include copyrighted materials in its catalogue...
