Traveling on a container ship is not better than sex, though it does last longer. It is an experience you will never forget.
DAY 32: In 1999 Bush said that he didn't like to read long books, especially when they were about policy. For his first two years in office, the president's staff spent only 30 to 45 minutes a week discussing policy with him. Clinton spent the same amount of time per day on the subject. In 2003 Bush told Fox News that he rarely reads newspapers beyond their headlines

We must unfortunately suspend betting on 'Ginny', 'Douglas' and 'Rocky' (numbers 9, 10 and 13 on the race card), as their signals have ceased to respond for several days. 'Paragon' (number 11) has also been stationary close to the Tasman Peninsula on Tasmania's south east coast for several days and if she does not move soon may also be suspended.

Around the halls of the Pentagon, a term of caustic derision has emerged for the enlisted soldiers at the heart of the furor over the Abu Ghraib prison scandal: the six morons who lost the war [...] But the folks in the Pentagon are talking about the wrong morons.
Armed with little more than an electronic dictionary and text-analysis software, Claire Whelan, a graduate student in computer science at Dublin City University in Ireland, has managed to decrypt words that had been blotted out from declassified documents to protect intelligence sources.
"Someone gave me a copy of this thing, and here is this woman with a wonderful voice singing my press conference," Rumsfeld marveled at a meeting of the Newspaper Association of America last month. "Now, if that doesn't tell you something about the state of the world!"

Last year, journalist-humorist Hart Seely took selected Rumsfeld briefings and without changing a word, presented them in the form of free verse, sonnets and haiku in his book "Pieces of Intelligence: The Existential Poetry of Donald H. Rumsfeld."
The baby boomers include Saghar Tayebi, a 17-year-old in Isfahan who wore a tight manteau with high slits, embroidered jeans and a red headband. Her mascara was hefty and her lipstick bold, and her sleeves were rolled up to reveal lots of bracelets. Lots of hair escaped her scarf. But when I asked her whether she dreamed of wearing Western-style skimpy clothing, she looked aghast. "We totally reject that," she said indignantly. "We don

Chechen rebels were responsible for the only known incident involving a dirty bomb. In 1995, they planted an explosive device containing cesium in a Moscow park, then informed reporters of its location before it was detonated.
"The crucial difference from Iraq is that frontline soldiers who are made to experience R2I techniques themselves develop empathy. They realise the suffering they are causing. But people who haven't undergone this don't realise what they are doing to people. It's a shambles in Iraq"
The global trend toward weight gain and its associated illnesses is not restricted to the well-off. High-fat, high-starch foods tend to be cheaper, so poor people eat more of them.

In 1990, no more than 15 percent of food bought in Latin America came from supermarkets. Now, 60 percent is from six supermarket chains.
The original Zionist slogan -- "A People without a land for a land without people" -- managed to miss not only the Arab inhabitants of turn-of-the-century Palestine but also the religious significance of this ground to the broader Islamic world. Herzl's failure to consider Zionism as a fresh incitement for anti-Semitism was "perhaps even a fatal flaw" of Zionism ... But Herzl was caught up in the ideological movement sweeping Europe in
