Illustration by Nathan Fox O ne early evening in February 2006, John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator then gearing up to launch his second presidential campaign, was hanging out in the bar of the Regency Hotel on Park Avenue with one of his donors and his young traveling aide, Josh Brumberger. A woman sitting at a nearby table with some friends walked over and introduced herself. Brumberger saw this kind of thing all the time. Women were always hitting on his boss.
An Excerpt From John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's 'Game Change:
Racisme, adultère: les poubelles de la campagne américaine 2008
Lire un livre sur une campagne électorale une fois qu’elle est terminée, c’est souvent aussi intéressant que de se plonger dans un Lonely Planet une fois rentré de voyage. Mais Game Change , consacré aux tueries politiques qui ont précédé l’élection de Barack Obama en 2008, fait saliver qui aime les feuilletons politiques. Résumé. Des bonnes feuilles et des extraits du livre de Mark Halperin (d’ABC News, auteur du blog The Page ) et John Heilemann (de New York Magazine) provoquent déjà des remous aux Etats-Unis. Ce qu’on y apprend : C’est sa fille Chelsea qui l’en a empêchée in extremis, en lui assurant que les électeurs de l’Etat de New York ne lui pardonneraient pas de ne pas finir son mandat de sénatrice.
The inevitable grumbling and grunting about the use of unattributed quotations in Game Change , the engrossing new campaign book by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, has been accompanied by a more or less grudging general admission that nobody cited in these pages has so far complained of being misrepresented.

Le syndrome de la bouche ouverte - Les Entrailles de Mademoisell
Si vous lisez la presse féminine, vous avez certainement remarqué ce phénomène étrange : Le syndrome de la bouche ouverte.
No living being in Italy remained untouched by the war. Giu, a young mule who worked in the munitions train of an artillery regiment, sensed many changes on 22 June 1941, even though he did not, of course, know that the Führer had persuaded the Duce to declare war on the Soviet Union. People would have been astonished how many things the mule noticed that day: music everywhere, the radio blaring away without a break, the stable doors left wide open, crowds of women and children by the barracks, flags fluttering above the barracks, the smell of wine coming from people who did not usually smell of wine, the trembling hands of his driver, Niccolo, when he came to Giu’s stall, led him outside and put on his breastband… Niccolo did not like Giu; he always put him on the left, to make it easier to whip him with his right hand.
Vasily Grossman's The Road | openDemocracy
Several of Grossman’s last stories can be read as a response to the work of Andrey Platonov, the one writer among his contemporaries whom Grossman admired wholeheartedly. Platonov was six years older than Grossman, but Grossman was the more established figure and there was at least one occasion when he succeded in being of real help to Platonov; in 1942 he asked David Ortenberg, the chief editor of Red Star , to take Platonov under his protection, saying that ‘this good writer’ was ‘defenceless’ and ‘without any settled position’. Ortenberg duly took Platonov on as a war correspondent. Later Grossman invited Platonov to collaborate on The Black Book ; at some point in 1945 Platonov was given responsibility for all the material relating to the Minsk ghetto. [i] During Platonov’s final illness, Grossman visited him almost daily, and he gave one of the main speeches at Platonov’s funeral.

At the height of the Cold War, the Central Intelligence Agency paid $3,000 to renowned magician John Mulholland to write a manual on misdirection, concealment, and stagecraft. All known copies of the document — and a related paper, on conveying hidden signals — were believed to be destroyed in 1973.
