Plunderers seeking gold were the first to find the shining key that would unlock a door to the past. In 1987 a local looter stumbled upon a royal tomb deep inside an adobe-brick pyramid near the village of Sipan in the Lambayeque River valley of Peru's northern coastal plain. The find was pillaged, and many artifacts from it soon began showing up on the international market for stolen art. Fortunately, three other tombs that have since been discovered in the pyramid were protected and excavated under the eye of an expert. As a result, a team of workers...
...Gaidar as "poorly thought-out experiments," taken a verbal slap at "market romanticism" and disparaged privatization by comparing it to Stalin's forced collectivization, which killed more than 10 million peasants during the 1930s. As for the Prime Minister's policy initiatives, International Monetary Fund officials weighing whether to unlock $1.5 billion in aid to Russia are most disturbed by his willingness to pump increasingly worthless rubles into inefficient state enterprises.

Like the Iliad, they come in two basic subjects: girls and war; sometimes, as in The Kiss, 1962, both appear together.

His girls are the nymphs of a lost Arcadia of gush, as remote from...
While it may not offer the definitive statement on O'Hara's poetry, City Poet remains an lively presentation of a feverishly lived life. Gooch's intoxicating re-creation of O'Hara's milieu helps unlock some of the more insular references in his work (O'Hara once remarked to a friend on the small size of his audience: "You could fit the people I write for into your john all at the same time without raising an eyebrow"). Although O'Hara's poems to friends create an intimacy in which the reader can often share, Gooch's book adds...
