...nine-day mission to the region, Bush has been unable, as an adviser puts it, "to get back to the speech," the elegant Rose Garden statement he made on April 4. In that address Bush for the first time lined up all the carrots and sticks to wheedle and whack both Israelis and Palestinians to the bargaining table.

...paean to classic rock fits her career arc perfectly. Since her debut, Crow has deftly projected herself as a world-weary girl who likes a good time. On her previous album, 1998's brooding The Globe Sessions, the balance between sullen and saucy got out of whack. Here Crow tries to set things right by not bumming anybody out.

Inside one of the many rooms in the vaulted mansion, they were horsing around with a bunch of leather straps used by the Taliban's dreaded religious police to whack men whose beards were too short or women who dared to wear white socks. Sherzai's men - the few who could read - jeered at Omar's edicts against drugs, and the air in the garden was fragrant from the hashish passed around by Sherzai's huddled ruffians...
Less than two minutes later, Brown’s Tye Korbl was whistled for a blatant interference call on Harvard defenseman Liam McCarthy. The ensuing hack-and-whack literally included every player...
