...Parasite Eve was first published in Japanese in 1995, and together with Koji Suzuki's Ring helped to launch a new wave of Japanese horror - both novels were made into movies. Director Hideo Nakata's adaptation of Ring enjoyed more domestic success than the Fuji TV-produced Parasite Eve, but Sena's story reached a broader audience outside Japan through a Sony PlayStation video-game adaptation that shifted the tale to New York City and ratcheted up the gore - most fantastically in the mass spontaneous combustion of an opera audience at Carnegie Hall. There are also two Japanese manga versions...
...McCain thinks winning in Iraq is the single most important foreign policy challenge facing the next President. As a result, he's willing to spend billions more dollars, impose a far greater strain on the military and divert U.S. attention from other problems to incrementally improve our chances of success.

Paralyzed by opportunity cost, it's impossible for them to seize an opportunity...
...Some have interpreted my apparent lack of fear and my recent success in publishing these ideas in The Crimson as proof that there is neither censorship nor fear of criticizing Israel on campus and in the US generally. They should know, first, that both The New York Times and the Boston Globe have repeatedly refused to publish my editorials on this issue. Moreover, I am afraid. Much of a professor’s global effectiveness depends on the personal esteem and cooperation of deans, administrators, and fellow professors. Even my annual salary increases are determined by officials who appear...
