...energy in its samba beat that betrays its nostalgic lyrics. “Clementine,” which carries Burt Bacharach’s spirit if not his name, counters the “packing up of summer clothes” and musings on “if the sun doesn’t shine” with a series of light major-key arpeggios...
...Rawda, where the men start puffing flavored smoke from their nargilehs soon after the sun rises, Wehbe's unlikely presence is only one of the things that are out of the ordinary. Usually, the only background noise at the coffee house is a low murmur of conversation, and the click of marble pieces on a hundred game boards as men puff on their houkas, finger wooden worry beads and play hours-long backgammon marathons. Now, there's a new addition to that symphony: half a dozen TV monitors tuned to al-Jazeera's coverage of the mayhem in Lebanon...
...Applebee's' sense of disembodiment, of radical anti-locality, extends throughout its menu. A "Tuscan Shrimp Salad" bears only a notional relationship to Tuscany, where I have never seen the discordant, more-Asian-than-Italian marriage of almonds, shrimp, sun-dried tomatoes, hot peppers, sweet peppers, and soft lettuce.

But an almost saintly civility has always been part of Lieberman's modus operandi...
...nominated film producer Alison Owen and comic and actor Keith Allen, who split when Lily was a young child. She also has a history of saying outrageous things, like telling the Observer newspaper that she sold the illegal drug ecstasy in Ibiza when she was 15. Last week, the Sun tabloid revealed tales of her time in London's Priory clinic for treatment for depression as an 18-year-old. Allen is trying to shrug it off. "I know what the British press are like, and if I wasn't honest about my past, then it would only come back...
