Martin's tone is not cautious, exactly, but careful. The writing is evocative, unflinching and cool. When he takes a scalpel to his life, what you feel is the precision of the surgeon more than the primal scream of the unanesthetized patient. "My biggest fear," he says, "was that when you're writing about yourself, you're writing about yourself. It could come off like an ego trip." But Born Standing Up is neither fanfare nor confession. It gives off a vibe of rigorous honesty. With lots of laughs...

...farm spending--which accounted for less than nutrition spending--Peterson persuaded Pelosi to pry money out of the Ways and Means Committee by closing a loophole that helps foreign firms duck U.S. tax liabilities. Republicans denounced this back-door tax hike to no avail. "They had every right to scream foul," Kind says. "There was no vetting in Ways and Means, no hearings, no markup.

...tour the History of the World together, with Rob Thomas as our guide!” this video seems to scream. You have reservations about this. What of historical integrity? Of respect for the dead and gone? “Nonsense!” chuckles the video. And so begins the band’s latest video mastercraft: a rapid-fire history lesson from the 1960s through today. Rob Thomas heralds the birth of Modern Time with delicate overhead claps, jamming in the NASA control center while Neil Armstrong bounces like a lunar Tigger in the background...
