Padmasree WarriorI don't think either party has any idea what's headed their way. Their business is to remain mired in process. They call it deliberation, thoughtful, reasonable deliberation.

People engaging in process are a bunch of people masking the fact they don't know what they're doing, and he has no time for 'em and no patience.

Carl HolmesI've done my share of reading about Abraham Lincoln, throughout my life, and he wasn't always carved in stone. He was a human being. He was a very thoughtful, self-educated, complex, magnanimous human being, who was very, very strong, very smart and very canny, with a very strong sense of what was right and what was wrong. Through all that, he's become an icon, over the years, and some of his warmth and humanity has been lost. You don't tend to think of Lincoln as this warm, funny person, but he was.
Billy CampbellJust when you thought the mafia novel was dead, Tod Goldberg breathes new life into it. Gangsterland, the best mafia novel in years, is a dark, funny, and smart page-turning crime story.

When I'm doing the pose (camel), I have this feeling in my chest, kind of a scary, tight feeling.-Fran was adjusting someone across the room.

I hadn't even known it was there.

It's about, among many other things, the connections human beings make, that in spite of everything, we will always make.

It was their singing and moving together' Singing and moving together, Wood has found a way to express this profound and beautiful idea through fiction.
