...heard in Jake Duzsik’s vocals. Whereas Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher’s heavily dubbed harmonies were central to that band’s sound, Duzsik attempts to recreate that kind of sound individually, singing between tenor and contralto through a rather liberal use of reverb. He successfully generates an effect of androgyny, but the vocals can feel insincere as a result. HEALTH’s originality has always been most evident in the sheer force and power of their sound. Their 2007 eponymous debut album was unrelenting in its fury, the repetitive, ear-splitting synths...
...professor of criminal justice at Florida's Saint Leo University. Matteson says the term is "less damaging" than dubbing someone a suspect, particularly if the police prove to be wrong in their identification.

...meeting on the sidelines of the U.N.

That, too, is highly unlikely for a variety of reasons, including the fact the the Administration may have concluded from Netanyahu's surge in popularity for resisting Obama's settlement-freeze demand that...
...young man spent the tumultuous summer making Molotov cocktails used in the street demonstrations, spray-painting walls with antigovernment slogans and distributing leaflets supporting the leading opposition figure, Mir-Hussein Mousavi. But he was no ordinary hooligan: he also happened to be a top law-school student at University of Tehran, an idealist who was hoping to use his degree to really get under the regime's skin...
