...several times without reporters or camera crews present. Clinton flew to Houston last September to make plans for paying out Katrina funds, then joined Bush for dinner at his home there. The two men met for breakfast at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City and did some quiet photo ops for private donors. During a stop in Little Rock to shoot some public-service announcements last spring, 41 spent more than an hour talking alone with 42 in the mock Oval Office at the Clinton library. "It looked like a wax museum in there," said a visitor who peeked...
...souls of those who sacrificed their lives at war for Japan and its Emperor would live forever, venerated as gods, at Yasukuni. Soldiers, pilots and seamen heading into battle would frequently bid farewell to each other by saying, "See you at Yasukuni." Since 1945, Yasukuni has remained a quiet but potent and enduring symbol for the country's die-hard nationalists. Since 1959, priests at Yasukuni have quietly enshrined more than 1,000 convicted war criminals, not just Class-A criminals such as Hideki Tojo, the wartime Prime Minister, but also hundreds of military men who personally committed atrocities, ordered...

Whatever form the conversation took, the Church administrator was indeed chosen three weeks later by his brother Cardinals to succeed John Paul...
...poetic touch made the world take notice. Benedict will connect by the power of his prose. But for all his learning and his sense of mission, the great surprise of Benedict's papacy so far - at least to those who didn't personally know him - has been a quiet humanity. At the end of a general audience in August, the Pope had set aside time for a long line of the ill and elderly to personally greet him. A girl, perhaps 9 or 10 years old, approached, holding her mother's hand and gripping a teddy bear. Her hair...
...School (HMS). HMS student and pianist Sharon F. Kuo played while Marie “Molly” M. Altenburg ’07, Lauren E. Chin ’08, Larissa D. Koch ’08, and Jordan C. Walker ’07 danced with a quiet grace and wonderfully controlled movements, reminiscent of woodland sprites. In particular, Altenburg, with her impressive penché (balancing on one leg with the other lifted behind her in a perfect 180° angle) and Chin, with her beautifully fluid movements, notably stood out.In a jarring contrast to the simple black...
