This is the best book I have read this year. Stylistically brilliant, scintillant, it searches into the nature of love and the obsessions of of eros -- not in daily life, but in life on the edge, life where politics, catastrophe, and the twentieth century converge.Wiggins' protagonist is a journalist -- male -- who covers international events of major magnitude; set alternately in Africa, at the (falling)Berlin wall, and in 'liberated' Eastern Europe, the book is a serious inquiry intot he relations between eros and ethos. The characters are riveting, the settings full of the excitement and confusion of the late twentieth centurty -- and the prose, the prose is a continual joy. Only a slight falling off at the end -- the book gets into so much that it is tough for Wiggins to extract herself and the reader from the fullness -- mars what is otherwise a wondrous book for our times.

Looking at the others reviews I sincerely think you were too much generous or you don't know the music of Tito. I bought this CD and I was desapointed for the lack of energy authenticity by the quality of the arrangements.This is not a bad CD but the oldies are FAR BETTER.

Tito puente is the numero uno chingon of Latin jazz. I can play this CD over and over and still Bob my head. Like the first time I put this bad boy on.

Channel Live proved they were good MC's when they dropped knowledge on KRS-ONE's "Free Mumia" and when they were sparking "Mad Izm". But this is terrible. Over a pseudo-Irv Gotti/Swizz Beats beat, the two produce a bland and tired party anthem with "Wild Out 2K". The two who used to preach against violence and stereotypes resort to gun references and overly-simplistic lyrics. The weed anthem "The Nerve" is nowhere near the classic "Mad Izm". This is a terrible way to introduce their new album. I hope it's better than this excuse for hip-hop.

Trying to understand the multiple stars this book received by others.An ungrateful son berates an immigrant father and in spite of his self-hating persona perseveres to become a physician. All ego, and lacking compassion, this is not my type of writer or physician.

I've tried just about every bar on the market and by far and away these are the best. The taste approcimates a candy bar without actually trying to emulate one. In other words, it is as healthy as it is supposed to be without concessions to people's sweet tooth. The Chocolate Chip Brownie versions are the best, don't bother with any of the other flavors.And if your balking at the price per bar (1.80ea), consider that you could spend a buck on a bagel or a couple bucks on a breakfast sandwich that would be far less healthy. Taken in that light, these bars are a great deal.
