...Telemarketers in Iraq A continuing stream of resentments is turning Iraqis against the U.S. [May 10]. That's what happens when one country invades another with no clarion call from a significant portion of its population, not even from those who are being persecuted. How lucky for the U.S. that in the 19th century there was no nation strong enough?or presumptive enough?to attack our country to rid it of the dreadful scourge of slavery. Without having been asked, America is inflicting its desires and aspirations upon others. The U.S. might be likened to a telemarketer, and before...
Arriving at Harvard, Updike did comp the Lampoon, contributing a steady stream of cartoons, comic poems, and sketches and rising quickly through the ranks of editorship. By the beginning of 1953, after bearing the titles “Narthex” and “Ibis,” Updike was elected the publication’s president...
...away from the thing, and tracers were coming up and through the silk. They were coming up just in strings. I can remember them being so close that I actually pulled my legs up as far as I could, my knee into my stomach, to get away from a stream of tracers.

...Sadr's adherents use their intimate knowledge of the terrain to outwit the Americans. As supporters stream from Baghdad 90 miles south to Kufa for Friday prayers, U.S. troops finally manage to cut the road just outside the city. In response, locals begin flagging down approaching cars, warning drivers of the checkpoints ahead and showing them how to avoid the blockade by taking a circuitous side route. Later, when U.S. troops close the road between Kufa and Najaf, prayergoers snake around back streets, along dusty trails and through a massive garbage dump. The mounds of trash give cars almost perfect...
...private reviews among some in the room were less gushing. Some lawmakers checked e-mail on their BlackBerrys or read newspapers on their laps while Bush rambled "on and on and on with a stream-of-thought speech that lasted 35 minutes," groused a G.O.P. Representative, adding that the applause afterward was only "polite." Others were miffed that Bush took no questions--even though microphones had been set out in the audience for the lawmakers--and said nothing at all about the prison-abuse scandal. Instead, he pleaded for patience on the war with "the same boilerplate speech...
