...like and your hands will likely come out dirty. Blagojevich is the sixth Illinois governor to be subjected to arrest or indictment - seventh if you count Joel Aldrich Matteson (governor from 1853-1857), who tried to cash $200,000 of stolen government scrip he "found" in a shoebox. Matteson pulled a "how-did-that-get-there?" excuse and escaped indictment by promising to pay it back. (Oddly, this isn't Illinois's only shoebox-full-of-money scandal; after former secretary of state Paul Powell's death in 1970, a search of his home revealed shoeboxes full of hundreds...
...collection is personal, the table of contents of my life. I have baby teeth and ticket stubs, my first license, my last loan payment, the rehearsal bouquet made from the ribbons from my bridal shower, and a shoebox full of key chains and charms and snow globes. Souvenir means "to remember"; I wonder why we tend to associate the word with the tacky and tasteless, rather than with the most precious collectible of all: the memory of the moments that make...
...idea of this man screaming at a television, on cocaine, just having a dialogue with the newsreader-I remember watching that scene and just wanting to write something like that, wanting to write this psychotic angry male spree," says Cowell, who premiered his first play, Men, at Sydney's shoebox-sized Old Fitzroy Theatre in 2000.

Six plays on, and three major awards later (2001's Patrick White Award for Bed, 2003's Griffin Award for Rabbit, and 2005's Philip Parsons Award for the forthcoming Ruben Guthrie), Cowell should...
...Despite a range of photographic practice, from photojournalism to portraiture, curator Crombie brings together a remarkably coherent vision. Haunting the show are spectral presences, from the dapperly besuited Aboriginal gent of the '50s that Brenda L. Croft retrieved from her late father's shoebox of slides, and Darren Siwes' ghostly self-portrait projected onto a Henson-like night-time landscape, to vacated urban spaces in which we are left to trace subtle signs of life-whether it be in a ray of sunlight retreating from Annie Hogan's Brisbane rental house, or the silvery spray of Scott Redford's Gold...
...even a significant other who likes to cook. But for now, I like having a tutor in my entryway who survived Social Studies 10 when he was an undergrad here. I like Winthrop’s subterranean dining experience. I even am growing to like the eight by eleven shoebox I share with another person and call a “bedroom”…even if we both can’t stand in there at the same time...
