...there wasn't much he could tell them, not that he could prove, at least. Just before the war, he recalls, the chiefs at the MIC had told people like him involved in the weapons program to hand over some of their documents and burn the rest. "They didn't realize at that time the Americans would insist on every single document," he says. "They thought the [U.S.] attacks would come and that would be it." When in the years after the war U.N. inspectors kept demanding a paper trail, the superiors got nervous. They "started asking...
...another Brussels restaurant that has passed inspection. If enough restaurants sign up, the results will be published by mid-2004 in a guide to certified restaurants. Finally, Trombetta begins writing his report. Benedetto has passed, with the condition that he fix one "minor nonconformity."

...perhaps the British simply disdain huge followings in general, preferring to prove their independence of spirit by listening to as different band from many of their peers as they can manage. This phenomenon exists in the US amongst those who enjoy name-checking monumentally obscure indie bands or unsigned underground rappers. Besides the reality glitch that was the Spice Girls, Britain seldom supports the monolithic popularity that, say, Eminem or Dave Matthews enjoys in the U.S. British artists endure by never getting too big, so that the armchair music fiends who judge the Mercury can nominate them with their consciences...
