...MANY PEOPLE ASSUME YOU MUST BE INCREDIBLY TOUGH TO WORK FOR. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Somehow I have managed to build a very fine company with a very fine work force filled with people who are still there from the earliest days. Many of my executives have worked with me since the beginning. I can be fair and decisive and encouraging as well as demanding, and those are the characteristics you'll see on The Apprentice. If you want to see a tyrannical Martha, you'll have to watch Cybill Shepherd. [Shepherd has played Stewart in two TV movies...
...were, in azure, malachite green, rose, yellow, lavender and pink, in the silky and atmospheric sheen of colori cangianti, or shifting colors, is disorienting; one is still apt to think of color as a feminine rather than a patriarchal attribute.

...choppers, bobbing and weaving like bumblebees in a barely controlled chaos amidst the smoke of fires burning along the Mississippi River below. They searched for Hurricane Katrina survivors in large venues like the Convention Center-where a lone military air traffic controller with the call sign "Superman 00" somehow directed the evacuation of the 5,000 people still stranded there-to less visible pockets of the city like apartment buildings and half-submerged highway overpasses. It was a surreal, almost apocalyptic scene that made the name the crew had given this particular CH-53-Voodoo Child-seem all the more...
...just a diplomat; he's also the scion of a cultured Ashkenazi family, a hero of the French Resistance and a chum of Marlon Brando's. This is the kind of preposterous, over-laden detail that bends and almost cracks the novel at various points. Yet the plot somehow works. The ambassador falls for Boonyi, she betrays Shalimar, and the two elope to Delhi. Shalimar goes mad with jealousy, and vows to kill the two lovers. As he gets deranged, so does Kashmir...
