...least tried. Shapiro offers a series of complicated and detailed strategies to confront global terror, including greater investment in human intelligence to methodically track and stop weapons proliferation, and to his credit, he avoids oversimplification and instead offers thorough analyses of individual situations. His criticisms lack the liberal slant you would expect in such a work. Shapiro lambastes both Democrats and Republicans: Democrats for their lack of a standpoint and Republicans—more specifically neocons—for ignoring tried and true public policy in favor of more imperialist maneuvers. This book is a good read if you want...
Much of the international coverage focuses on the U.S., but there is a more heavy-handed slant on some stories than on others. After U.S. News & World Report Correspondent Nicholas Daniloff was arrested as a spy in Moscow in late August, TASS declared he had been "caught red-handed" and that "it would seem proper that his bosses should still their tongues out of shame."

For starters, I can’t draw up a scheme on either side of the ball much more complex than what I see on Madden. You’re right...
...getting crowded in the kitchen, the locus of australian political sloganeering. For most of the year, Labor leader Kim Beazley has been claiming his party's slant and policies are informed by the concerns of middle Australia-not the fripperies of abc Radio National listeners or Sydney's droning talk shops. Beazley's relentless message is that Labor is focused on the "kitchen table" issues that preoccupy families. Such as? Interest rates, petrol prices, schools, job security and Iraq. And because McMansions have formal dining rooms, and maybe because wine is so cheap, our dinner-party talk now extends...
