...rudder post from a huge Chinese junk built around the time, nearly 600 years ago, when the Chinese Muslim eunuch admiral Zheng He embarked on seven epic voyages that took him to southeast Asia and the shores of India, Arabia, and Africa, trading for spices and fabrics, livestock and raw materials...
...unsatisfactory workers, the government believes, will help employers overcome their reluctance to hire young people in the first place. The law's critics say it will promote tenuous jobs and make it even harder for young people to find steady employment. The law has hit a raw nerve in a society deeply attached to the idea that a job is forever.

...left the theater having lost just about all my innocence. Towne’s film, based on the 1930s Los Angeles novel by John Fante, substitutes the tastefully provocative love scenes of the novel for no-holds-barred romanticized pornography. The sex scenes are so raw and uncomfortable to sit through that they unfairly detract from the complex emotions of the characters and the ultimately heartbreaking storyline. “Ask the Dust,†follows the trials of Arturo Bandini (Farrell), a struggling Italian-American author who calls himself “a lover, equally fond...
