...that Tony Blair had oversold the case for war in Iraq--creating a portrait of anger and futility that's overwhelmingly sad. More often than not, though, Yorke speaks for, and to, himself. On Atoms for Peace, he sings, "No more going to the dark side with your flying saucer eyes ... No more talk about the old days, it's time for something great." The Eraser isn't--but by distilling Radiohead into something intimate, it may point the way toward greatness to come...
...right hand of God." Shooting for sport isn't, as I once thought, the desperate outlet of sad Hemingway types, but a fiendishly difficult art. As Peter, a former naval officer, says, "It's got all the Zen you could want." Trying to hit a bullseye smaller than a saucer from a distance of 100 m or more-and do it over and over again-demands things of you, and gives things to you.

...curiosity has led him beyond book restoration and into other, more creative, pursuits.

The pair inserted some nice adlibs into the script. Upon being presented with a quilt at one stop...
...evolution of the solar system, captured solar particles 1.5 million kilometers from Earth on its 37-month journey. With its cargo considered too delicate for a hard landing, helicopters manned by stunt pilots were deployed to snare the craft as it drifted down?but the parachute mishap meant the saucer-shaped ship plummeted to Earth at almost 320 km/h. NASA researchers hope to recover much of the payload, about the weight of a few grains of salt, from the wreckage...
