...class portrait, one notices the similarities. But in this group, Cash stood out--not just with his grave voice and lifer's stare, but with the somber production of his songs. The lyrics Cash wrote for his signature hit I Walk the Line express an unexceptional sentiment: because I love you, I behave. But the thumping bass line and Cash's delivery ("I keep my eyes wide open all the time") make the mood part predatory, part paranoid. Even the upbeat love story Ballad of a Teenage Queen has a spooky side; it sounds as if it's beamed from...
...considered it a blot on her memory that 56% of those voting wanted to keep the krona. Indeed, it was largely in her honor that 82.6% of the electorate turned out to vote - they paid their respects by participating, not by agreeing with her.

Since Cola Turka hit local shelves two months ago, a high-profile ad campaign has been stoking nationalist sentiment. Starring Chevy Chase as a confused New Yorker struggling to understand why anyone who sips the drink becomes instantly Turkish - sprouting a moustache, cooking stuffed grape leaves and bursting into rousing national song - the launch coincided with the heavy-handed seizure of Turkish soldiers by U.S. troops in northern Iraq...
...those Jews who lived in Palestine "before the Zionist invasion" would be allowed to remain. Although that document was later modified (in a meeting hastily convened under pressure from the Clinton White House) in keeping with the pursuit of a two-state solution under the Oslo Accords, the same sentiment remains central to the charter of Hamas, and the demand for ?liberating? all of Palestine remains a core element of Palestinian national identity. Acceptance of a two-state solution, which would give the Palestinians only 25 percent of the West Bank and Gaza is viewed as a compromise...
