The biggest irony of this whole sorry Pakistan affair is that Shahid Afridi suddenly appears to be a paragon of virtue, riding in on his white charger to rescue the team.
Vertical slice (and dice). After half an hour of knocking the undead around with a trashcan, I suddenly realised that "zombie" would be a pretty good word to play in Scrabble. It's not a game-changer necessarily, but lay that across a triple score tile, preferably landing the Z on some kind of letter multiplier, and you've got yourself a handy boost if you're getting behind. This is the...
Ed here: In addition to being both a fine novelist and short story writer, Dick Lochte is also the current President of The Private Eye Writers of America. Each writer has his own lists to make but Dick's is especially interesting to me because he lists novels I've never seen on any other list before. And now I want to read or reread them. Keep scrolling down after the Top 20 Novels because Dick gets...

As I was perusing headlines that seem seldom to change — mosque, immigration, sacred ground, 9/11, more mosque — an unlikely trio intruded upon my malaise: Paul Newman, Rodney King and John Lennon.
(By Kathleen Parker, National Columnist) As I was perusing headlines that seem seldom to change - mosque, immigration, sacred ground, 9-11, more mosque - an unlikely trio intruded upon my malaise: Paul Newman, Rodney King and John Lennon. I'm not proud of it. I wish it had been Nietzsche, Bonhoeffer and Freud, but there you have it. At least it wasn't Glenn Beck, Al Sharpton and Sarah Palin, though...
There was a time when any self-respecting schoolboy could reel off the names of every Football League ground in the country, but not anymore. Besides the fact most youngsters are more likely to be able to tell you where Schalke play (the Veltins Arena) rather than Shrewsbury (Greenhous Meadow), it is quite a task these days to keep track of the rapidly changing addresses.

Long before I knew who Paul Newman and Robert Redford were, before I understood what a long con was or even what a hooker did, I knew of Scott Joplin, Marvin Hamlisch and the music of The Sting. The soundtrack LP to the 1973 Academy Award winning film was amongst the collection of records housed [...]
This Thursday I offer you Ghostface’s 2nd single off his classic album “Supreme Clientele”. I know I’ve been absent but August is a month of relaxation. You must understand. I’m back though, I promise. Slowly but steadily I’m back. I’ll show you new angles like Paul Newman and Tom Cruise soon enough. I also bring [...]

Little seems to be working lately as we sliver ourselves into a thousand shards of blithering self-interest New York — As I was perusing headlines that seem seldom to change — mosque, immigration, sacred ground, 9/11, more mosque — an unlikely trio intruded upon my malaise: Paul Newman, Rodney King and John Lennon.
