...progression of time throughout the book, however, is extremely loose. Consecutive stories may be separated by days or centuries. People are introduced, then left unmentioned for chapters, only to reappear years younger. The past of Koltsovo is explained from the outside in. The details create, rather than support, the image. Through their presentation--a piece here and a piece there--a full picture emerges...
...yeah, Brando for example. When he was my age, he was the hardest working guy. He had a discipline that was unmatched. But now, because he gets away with everything--I mean the mistakes he made influence young actors. The younger guys are like "Oh all I gotta do is like get fat and go to Fiji."

The transplants took, and while...
...McGrath. "Our value is in the checking-outness," which is MTV speak for the channel's role as the pre-eminent cultural barometer. Some of her bravado may stem from the fact that the network's ad revenues keep going up despite flat ratings, as advertisers queue to reach younger viewers...
