...vociferous about the causes he espoused, though many times he appeared to be rambling, unrealistic and perhaps a touch fanatical in his views. But I was highly impressed by his article on Bernie Madoff. It is a superb piece of writing with the right mix of incisive sarcasm and wit that reveals a dark corner of American society with the intensity of a searchlight. And the accompanying sketch of Madoff once again underlines why TIME is the best. P.K. Majumdar, New Delhi...
...these sorts of let-me-give-you-the-worst-case-scenario books or you're not. While there's no doubt Murkoff's tomes are brimming with well-researched information, they're also packed with implausible situations that serve only to ramp up maternal anxiety.

See, in hockey you can even make fun of one of the greatest players ever! Try that on Mike Tyson. (Read "Why No One Is Seeing the NHL's Great...
...music, as is his skill at both soulful strength and supple falsetto. By contrast, admirers of 90s era Smashing Pumpkins are likely to be perplexed by James Iha’s new choice of genre. Schlesinger and Carlos made their careers with bands who were characterized by their wit and verve. Tinted Windows have neither. It is fortunate, then, that this is more side project than band per se, as the four members are continuing with their other projects. This well-intentioned attempt at collaboration is likely to be a forgotten...
