...Which is why it's such a shame that RJP is also the most bloated, buggy, memory-leaking, crash-causing chunk of code ever to cast a shadow over my hard drive. When it goes down - which, if it's feeling merciful, is roughly once a week - the program instantly pretends to forget every song I ever fed it. Like a grandparent feigning deafness, it has to go off and "listen" to every single track for a couple of seconds before it'll function again. Since my combined CD and download collection is now pushing 10,000 tunes, the water...
...impulse through the trigger finger. This is absolute power, on a person-to-person basis. It tends to corrupt absolutely. Degenerate violence takes on a life of its own. It feeds especially on women and children, the victims of convenience. It seeks them out. In the drug wars, a shadow struggle, an American woman and her adopted daughter got carelessly shot down the other day over Peru...
...Soto, 59, an economist, first cited the potency of shadow economies in his seminal 1989 book, The Other Path. His new work argues that most market-oriented reforms have failed to help the poor because clubby oligarchs and red tape have shut them out.

The subtle contrasts in tone result in a rich texture of light and shadow. Another rare drawing by Titian, entitled “The Submersion of the Pharaoh’s Army in the Red Sea,” depicts the Biblical story of the Red Sea. With bold strokes of ink, Titian recreates the chaotic yet spectacular nature of this tale. The light...
Calle 54, however, does not only survive as one of Puente's last moments, nor does it suffer from the stigma of being released in the shadow of Wim Wenders' wildly popular Buena Vista Social Club . Wenders' simple and similar premise of filming an American guitarist's effort to congregate the aging legends of Afro-Cuban music spawned a CD and an international concert, and Calle 54's American release seems to coincide with waning interest in BVSC. Miramax needn't have bothered, because the two are markedly different in intention, tone, texture and substance. The two films, while achieving...
