However important, assertiveness alone won't get anyone into the corner office. These guides are useful armor for the long slog to the top, but women, be advised: there are plenty of books by authors with last names like Gates and Iacocca filled with the secrets of male success. They're just not labeled that...
...that sense, “Accelerate” is like a better version of 1996’s “New Adventures in Hi-Fi,” which had a similar rocking feel (and perhaps even superior songs, as a whole), but took a whopping hour to slog through.The two-minute nugget “I’m Gonna DJ,” which R.E.M. played heavily on their 2004 tour, is the perfect closer to the album.

...course, it's easy for me to be sanctimonious: I'm a pop-culture columnist, not a campaign reporter. The logistics of disclosing votes would be a problem; no one wants to slog through countless articles giving the writers' electoral history back to college. But the online magazine Slate handled this by doing a poll of its staff before the 2000 and 2004 general elections. It is the sort of thing websites and blogs are made for. The main reason it won't happen with the mainstream media soon, however, is simple: the other guy isn't doing it. Ultimately...
