...there are as many dangers for Barghouti as for Abbas if the prisoner stays in the race. If he loses, his candidacy may nonetheless have delivered the political equivalent of a fatal wound to Abbas, at the same time as burning his own prospects for fulfilling his "Palestinian Mandela" ambitions. If Barghouti stayed in the race with the backing of the Fatah militants - making it an election fought over the fundamental strategic direction to be adopted by the Palestinians - and was then decisively defeated, Abbas would be free to pursue all manner of hitherto unpopular compromises with Israel.

...eerie sound permeated the Berklee Performance Center last Sunday night as the Chick Corea Elektric Band took the stage. Lilting and ethereal, this complex of waves bounced against the walls and curiously wound its way to the ears of an entranced audience.

...same reasons. Certainly, the joke runs thin sometimes, and his inability to strike a balance between unabashed silliness (“Ass Like That”) and heavy handed seriousness (“Mosh”) is frustrating. But his flow is only getting better, his rhymes more intricately wound and although his beats are often still rather dreary, he’s doing amazing things with his voice and his hooks. The vocal rhythms on opener “Evil Deeds,” for instance, only make sense once you’ve heard them 10 times...
