...widow wasting away in the loveless home of her deceased husband’s family. She invites “brave young bachelors” to rescue her from her isolation, and imagines that her relatives-in-law are plotting her murder. Eleanor’s vocal performance is raw and affecting. She has a limited vocal range, but her voice is so richly evocative that it hardly matters. “Bitter Tea” is such a thoroughly enjoyable album I’m inclined to ignore its pretensions and just rock out. Maybe that letter...
...Texas confidants still at the White House at this time of upheaval. The loyalty is reciprocal--Bush was still hot months later about how she was treated, viewing her as a victim of snobby litists. To White House officials, Miers is a quiet workaholic who got an inexcusably raw deal. To some outsiders, her name remains synonymous with Administration missteps--a conservative columnist called the Dubai Ports debacle a "Harriet Miers moment...
...global economy. Nobody paid any attention to them during economic recoveries in 1975, 1982 and 1991.

For many countries, exports to China have replaced exports to the U.S. as engines of growth?one reason why a longtime U.S. ally like South Korea is cozying up to China. Moreover, China's appetite for raw materials (and India's hunger in the future) is shifting political power from industrialized countries to resource-rich ones, giving leaders like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Ch?vez and Vladimir Putin extra clout...
...preppy duds? Check. The next item on rap star KANYE WEST'S to-do list is to create a book in the style of Japanese manga comics with animator Bill Plympton. Plympton, best known for short films that appeared on MTV in the '80s, met West when drawing the raw, smudgy animation for the hip-hop star's video Heard 'Em Say. After the two hit it off, they decided to collaborate on a book based on West's lyrics for Simon & Schuster. Can a Kanye West line of baked goods be far behind...
