...joblessness level reached 8.5% at in March because the number of people pushed out of work last month rose 663,000. Each time another 1.7 million people lose their jobs, the unemployment rate moves up another 1%, so if 2.6 million more Americans are fired, the jobless rate will hit 10%. At the current rate at which the economy is shedding workers the 10% level will be reached by the end of July. The counterargument to picking a date only four months from now is that the rate at which people are losing jobs will decelerate. Of course, there...
...ensemble's approach to recording. This spontaneity comes across in the listening. From the easy swing of first song "Sweet Lorraine" to the skittering ebullience of "Spain," the album's closer, Raw Jazz sparkles with the brio of live performance.

He has also served as the protege of Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar...
...with the death of Senyor, a character of focus for some odd pages: “The blacksmith gave the word for the cement man to commence; they forced open Senyor’s mouth and began to fill it. Senyor’s eyes were bulging; his chest rose twice as he retched.” This would be gruesome enough if such descriptions did not exist in virtually every passage of the novel. What comes next is more unusual. One old woman, refusing to spit on and insult Senyor on his death bed, instead closes the dying man?...
