...action...then you can look at United 93 as an indication for that. If you look at the last five years as a misjudgment and a mistake, you’ll look at this film as an indication as well. I wanted this film to be a kind of Rorschach test, an inkblot, that you hold up and people project their hopes and fears and fantasies onto. But the true meaning of United 93 is neither of the things. It doesn’t confirm either. It just confirms the reality of hard choices, the extraordinary human courage to face...
...sales across all media of the nearest competitor (who was, ironically enough, Morrissey), making history in the process. The video, unfortunately, is not as history-worthy. The concept makes enough sense, expounding on the theme of “crazy” with a continuously changing Rorschach test. Too bad the execution is too crazy to give the song the funky imagery it deserves. Beginning with ink dropped onto a white background to the rhythm of the beat, the design slowly takes shape to illustrate Cee-Los outlined and rapping.

...York City auction house while one of his paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat sells for $5.5 million. Hammett is so indecisive that you wonder how he manages to pick a guitar chord. Even performance coach Towle, a middle-aged man in a series of Cosby-meets-Rorschach sweaters, throws a small fit when the subject of curtailing therapy finally arises. "Remember, these guys are our clients," says Berlinger. "And God's honest truth, they never gave us one vanity note - not a single instruction to take something...
...Bush's honorable discharge, military legal experts dismiss the two accusations as rhetoric. "No military lawyer would say what's being alleged here is either desertion or AWOL," says Eugene Fidell, president of the National Institute of Military Justice. But Bush's Guard record is nevertheless emerging as a Rorschach test in the 2004 campaign. Supporters cite the record as evidence of the Commander in Chief's military background and skill: he did well on an officer-qualification test, won praise from fellow pilots for his flying prowess and received an honorable discharge. Opponents see it as a laundry list...
