In the Shreve High football stadium,
I think of Polacks nursing long beers in Tiltonsville,
And gray faces of Negroes in the blast furnace at Benwood,
And the ruptured night watchman of Wheeling Steel,

Dying for love.
Therefore,
Their sons grow suicidally beautiful
At the...

Born Mary Frierson, she initially performed as part of The Drapels, but soon went solo on the initiative of her producers at Stax Records. Her first and arguably biggest hit ensued: “After Laughter Comes Tears” (1964). This song can be heard sampled in the Wu-Tang Clan’s song Tearz (on the Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) album).

A site and bookmarket that automatically shrinks Twitter posts that are over the 140 character limit by abbreviating words and shortening URL’s. Both silly and possibly useful.

During the transition period, unknown to the public, Obama’s legal, intelligence, and national-security advisers visited Langley for two long sessions with current and former intelligence-community members. They debated whether a ban on brutal interrogation practices would hurt their...
