Amidst religious tensions, guerrilla warfare, and human rights violations, Anna was the only journalist unafraid of asking questions and writing answers. She brought the Russian military excesses to the Russian public sphere. Almost raped, almost deported, and almost killed several times, she reported summary executions, torture, and starvation. During the famous Moscow theatre kidnapping in 2002 that ended in tragedy, the Chechen terrorists only trusted Anna to mediate with the police authorities...
...previous albums mostly contain songs by musical theater composers, so her fan base consists mostly of people who have the soundtrack from “A Chorus Line” on their iPods. Unafraid of a little Stravinskyian polyphony, many of McDonald’s songs aren’t exactly user-friendly to those who like straightforward melodies...

"The majority of producers and directors do maybe 12 movies in their careers," Jackson says. "I've done over 100 already. I've got a pretty good idea of what audiences want, and when my character dies for no goddam reason"--as has happened more times than he can count--"or we pull punches on the action, or the thing just doesn't make logical sense...
