Your last album with the Bad Seeds, Dig Lazarus Dig!!! was about Lazarus being raised from the dead. And now this book also focuses on death. What about the experience of death interests you? Lazarus was sort of comic, I guess. He was brought back to life but he had no say in it. With Bunny, I didn't want to write a novel that's a normal redemptive story. I don't buy the whole redemption thing anyway. We're human and we are capable of love and destruction. These things are a part of what...
...team to point itself in the right direction. Alas, the Crimson was shut out last Friday by Long Beach State, having its 10-game home unbeaten streak snapped in the process. Sunday’s 3-2 loss to Hofstra concluded the weekend. It bears repeating that this sort of opening performance is not necessarily cause for panic. First of all, Harvard’s caliber of schedule is no joke. Hofstra was coming off a near-upset of No. 25 Indiana and beat Princeton earlier in the year. As for Long Beach State, the 49ers had dominated...
...recent anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Beck grew afraid that Americans may no longer be the sort of people who cross mountain ranges in covered wagons and toss hot rivets around in bold bursts of skyscraper-building. Tears came to his eyes (they often do) as he voiced this last fear. But then he remembered that the fiber of ordinary Americans is the one thing Glenn Beck need never fear. So he squared his quivering chin to the camera and held up a snapshot of ground zero, still empty eight long years after the World Trade Center was destroyed...
...melodrama, it's thumping good stuff. But as politics, it's sort of a train wreck - at once powerful, spellbinding and uncontrolled. Like William Jennings Bryan whipping up populist Democrats over moneyed interests or the John Birch Society brooding over fluoride, Beck mines the timeless theme of the corrupt Them thwarting a virtuous Us. This flexible narrative often contains genuinely uncomfortable truths. Some days "they" are the unconfirmed policy "czars" whom Beck fears Obama is using to subvert constitutional government - and he has some radical-sounding sound bites to back it up. Some days "they" are the network of leftist...
...Having weathered nationalization and, since its reopening, not one but two recessions, the hotel has come full circle. Laos remains backpacker territory and not the sort of place where you can easily charge $220 and up for a room. But the Palace was bullish enough to embark on fresh refurbishments this summer. We're not sure what the secret of its survival is - but if anyone can work miracles in Vientiane, the Theodas family can. See www.setthapalace.com for more...
