...corner spot on a concrete floor. That was to be his living quarters. Basic articles like toilet paper, soap and razors were not provided. There was no toilet or shower and he bathed by throwing cold water over his head. Health services were geared mostly toward treating stab and gunshot wounds, he said, unsure why he and his companions had boils forming on their skin...
...into free trade deals? These final questions should be second-nature to Kerry, a long-time member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.Like advertised, the Kerrys’ book is a fine complement to the work of Gore: it provides a broader discussion of environmental issues and makes a stab at solutions, albeit a weak one.

In terms of secondary characters, the movie takes a “Super Troopers”-esque stab at parodying small-town cops, with such amusing situations as shootouts at the Neighbors’ Market and interrogations concerning the differences between vans and minivans. It also typecasts Zooey Deschanel as the responsible yet humorless younger sister, and features some bizarre, seedy-underbelly types, like the thieving and Ultimate Fighting...
