...style echoes the fact that Rapp wrote Nocturne when he was reading Faulkner. Although the Son never lapses into an inchoate stream, his monologue is a form of self-flagellation reminiscent of The Sound and the Fury's Jason Compson. In Nocturne the monologue is lyrical, moving with the sheer inevitability of a musical composition. Dallas Roberts' Son makes each word into a plaintive wail. Even when the character lapses into humor (at one point even mimicking stand up comedy), the humor's forced nature hints at more shocks to come. The subject matter is graphic and serious business...
...some reason, the market's constant stream of worries takes on added significance in the fall. It may be that some investors simply lose interest over the summer and come back after Labor Day ready to scrutinize everything.

Bush did seem relaxed, perhaps too much so at times, as he fell back into a body language that suggested he might lean over and loose a stream of tobacco juice at any moment. In this respect, he may have been saved by the format too: Jim Lehrer, who ran a much tighter ship, rules-wise, than in the first debate, is not exactly a buddy-buddy moderator, which probably kept Bush from becoming overly laid-back...
...fresh entries in the dictionary, like many of the nation's recent immigrants, have been admitted because they play a role in the new, high-tech economy. It's clear what we've been talking about for the past eight years: machines and money. "Usenet." "Comp time." "Bit stream." "Index fund." This is your heritage, America: a language that's forever evolving new terms for small computers ("subnotebook") and exotic lending practices ("reverse mortgage") but still has only one word for snow ("snow...
