Sarah Manguso must think I'm stalking her experiences. I reviewed her memoir about auto-immune disease, as I too had one. This second volume is about the suicide under a train of someone she knew with a psychotic illness, and I too have been there, with my sister in 1985.
Manguso's loss involved one of her oldest friends, Harris, a talented musician. This intense collection of thoughts explores her response to his death and searches for sense in the tragedy.
The structure is similar to Manguso's previous memoir – short sections dissecting aspects of her feelings and experiences in stark prose. As in her first book, in which she talked guiltlessly about endangering children's lives by driving purposefully into oncoming traffic, she either has little insight into how selfish she sometimes sounds or simply doesn't care. So she blithely reveals her seething intolerance of trite small talk and how she goes squatting in a friend's parents' home despite their express wishes. But with this indifference to how she appears comes a striking honesty.
She is only able to reflect on the death of Harris years later, as pain and denial made it impossible earlier. She is tortured by the 10 hours between Harris's escape from psychiatric hospital (with ugly irony, the official term is "elopement") and his jump.
Sometimes Manguso's directness sounds flat and emotionless, as when she describes the physical appearance of a mangled body, innards disgorged. I suspect this is the depersonalisation or derealisation that protects the bereaved by making death seem unreal, like an event on TV.
Homages to mutual acts of kindness humanise her. Like Joan Didion's memoir about her late daughter, there is a fragile quality, shattered reflections often segueing away from the subject of the deceased. Sometimes the result is disjointed – there are three separate sections on akathisia, the unbearable restlessness experienced by people taking older anti-psychotic drugs. Occasionally, the anti-establishment stance seems fatuous, as when discussing the clinical definition of psychosis, "loss of contact with reality", Manguso objects semantically to the word "reality", and muses: "How does one make contact with an abstraction?" But she is intelligent on the approach to defining psychosis that sees it as a continuum rather than a discrete entity.
Manguso's openness can be very funny. On anti-psychotics herself, she describes one that caused a tic every time she was insincere. Elsewhere she criticises doctors who consider themselves novelists, saying that she could trepan a skull, but the "difference is ... bad surgery is a felony, whereas bad writing is merely a moral offense".
At the unveiling of Harris's headstone, his grandmother told Manguso that they must move on. Manguso confesses that while her words sounded banal, as "I am interested in how people live to be 91, I noted them." One must be grateful that this gifted writer's own suicidal urges are long gone.

He sells more records than Madonna and Britney combined, and has over 50 film scores to his name. Fittingly, his latest project is with his Western counterpart: Raman has written the songs for Lloyd Webber's new musical Bombay Dreams. 'Since Tim Rice and I started 30 years ago, there have been no new writers who have really made it. Everyone in musical theatre has been looking for a new star, and I think Rahman is the one,' announces Sir Andrew, while the restaurant staff line up to meet their hero.
London is Bollywood's second home. We love the colour, the kitsch, the larger-than-life culture. We're dancing at the monthly Bollywood Nights at the Cobden Club, and listening to The Very Best Bollywood Songs, which sold 40,000 copies last year, and its follow-up, Volume II, which is climbing the album charts.
We are even learning to cope with the three-hour-plus Bollywood films. The massively successful but not strictly Bollywood Monsoon Wedding has whetted our appetite; now we want the real thing. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is one of several movies to have sneaked into the top ten over the past few months and has become the most successful Indian film ever in the UK. Lagaan, a historical epic based around an India versus England cricket match also made the top ten, and is up for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar later this month. By May, we'll be shopping for opulent Bollywood paraphernalia at Selfridges. The store is themed for the whole month with dancing, music, screenings and fashion shows, mainly because the store's chief executive, Vittorio Radice, is a massive fan.
'I love the extravagant romance, its contradiction and glamour,' he says. And if that isn't enough, Bollywood is even hard news: Lakshmi Mittal's interests, apart from Romanian steel, include a Bollywood satellite channel called B4U...
Feeling overwhelmed? Then you'll need a crash course in Bollywood, the world's most-watched cinema. The Bollywood studios, based in Bombay (or Mumbai), churn out 800 or so Hindi films each year - some good, some downright appalling. Their success is partly due to their special formula. There is always a hero. He must be young, good-looking and slightly mysterious. He always wins the girl. The girl, the heroine, must again be young, good-looking and most emphatically a virgin. She will gain the approval of the hero's mother, a grey-haired sage whose filial relationship borders on oedipal. A narrow-eyed, snarling villain will try to intervene. He will have facial hair. The plot is always the same: good versus evil, right fighting wrong. There is no kissing and absolutely no sex, but plenty of innuendo-laden erupting fountains and bees sucking up pollen from plump stamens. The obligatory 'wet sari' scene relieves some of the sexual tension with the hero and heroine frolicking around in a waterfall (only nuzzling, of course). Even Bombay Dreams is planning an on-stage pool for the Bollywood version of the wet T-shirt contest.
It is that simple. Bollywood doesn't do social realism; the poor don't want to be told how awful their lives are. They want escapism. And nothing sums that up more than the dozen or so musical interludes in each film. If you like happy endings, you'll love Bollywood. It is Titanic without the iceberg, Moulin Rouge! without the TB. Actually, with its kitsch routines and Taj Mahal backdrop, Moulin Rouge! is pure Bollywood and director Baz Luhrmann freely admits that this was his inspiration.
Comparisons with Hollywood are irresistible - and inevitable. Hollywood has its great dynasties, with the Barrymores and the Fondas; Bollywood has its own, with the Kapoors and the Samarths. Western celebrity spotters have Heat magazine; Bollywood fans have Stardust, India's biggest-selling gossip publication. We have on-set trailers; they have stretch buses. We have the Oscars; they have the Filmfare Awards where, along with the usual categories, there is an award for 'Best Villain'.
The actors are gods, and their fans take the business of adoration very seriously. Most worshipped of all is 59-year-old Amitabh Bachchan, a national institution who, as well as having acted in countless classic movies, also hosts India's Who Wants to be a Millionaire? In 1982, when Amitabh Bachchan was in intensive care for two months after a stunt accident, thousands gathered outside the hospital every night, praying for his recovery. One fan ran 800km backwards as a gesture to the heavens. The then Indian prime minister, Indira Gandhi, even visited his sick bed.
Bolly fans also love to loathe their villains, and jeer them in public - not really surprising since the actors stay in character during interviews. The hatred is intense. Pran Sikand, one of the most famous villains in the Sixties, ensured no one in Northern India called their son Pran for 25 years.
Fans tend to get obsessed with one star and rip off their look. They copy their dress, their haircuts, their dance routines, even the way they walk and talk. They mob them wherever they go. And they're not fussy. Chris England, an English actor with a minor part in Lagaan, recalls popping into an Asian video shop: 'You should have seen the joy on the shopkeeper's face as he scrabbled around for a pen for my autograph.' It's hardly surprising, then, that a Bollywood star's favourite London hotel is the Crown Plaza at Buckingham Gate - Her Majesty's security keeps the fans at bay.
Bachchan caused chaos over here when he unveiled his Madame Tussaud's waxwork a couple of years ago ? he was the first Bollywood hero to be honoured there ? and a subsequent walkabout meant that Brick Lane had to be closed off. Unfamiliar to most Brits, he was even voted the most popular actor of the last millennium in a BBC online poll. Laurence Olivier came second.
But can Bollywood go truly mainstream? Will there ever be a crossover movie, an equivalent to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? Just maybe. Bollywood Queen, the first entirely British-directed-and-acted Bollywood film, is out this September. A cross-cultural Romeo and Juliet set in the East End of London, it could offer the perfect balance of East and West, and could make the leap from Southall to Southfields. The director Jeremy Wooding hopes Lloyd Webber's musical, premiering a couple of months before, will build up interest: 'His production should get people used to the music and open up their minds.'
The global population can't be wrong: these are the most-watched films on the planet. The people of Kabul can't be wrong: they blared out Bollywood tunes after the fall of the Taliban. We're only just catching on. After all, with so much of India already a part of British culture, the subject matter never feels wholly unfamiliar. If nothing else, Bollywood gives us a whole new set of celebrities to worship, and best of all, immersing yourself in their tittle-tattle isn't considered low-brow - Bollywood gossip is commonplace at the most sophisticated Bombay dinner parties. As the films get slicker, who knows? One day we could be describing Josh Hartnett as the new Hrithik Roshan - and not the other way round.

Abductors Get Ransom, Fail To Free Tot Neighbors Opine Child Wandering Over Redlands PRINCETON. Fla . May 31.—<7Pi —Several hundred persons who had assembled here to search for kidnapped James Bailey Cash Jr. dispersed tonight upon request of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and parents of the five-year-old child. It was feared a demonstration would frighten the abductors who I took the pajama-clad boy from his father's apartment house on the Miami-Key West highway Saturday. HOPE FOR CONTACT Cash reported ho paid, early today, the $10,000 ransom demanded. The crowd was told to be ready at daybreak lf called upon to begin a search of the flat surrounding farming country knowrn as the redlands. W. P. Cash, uncle of James Jr., said there was hope of making another contact with the kidnapers tonight. Neighbors were divided In opinions as to whether a search should be made immediately. Some said such a move might serve as a death warrant for the tow-headed, blueeyed "Skeegie," as he is popularly known. Others believed the boy may have been released to wander in the vicinity. FATHER DEFIES THREAT The worried father, hollow-eyed from loss of sleep and hoping to make another contact with the abductors, secluded himself in his home with the shades drawn Federal officers and local authorities withdrew from the scene. Cash's notification of FBI agents I defied a death threat against not!- I fylng federal officers made soon after the boy was discovered to be missing. Ashmael Cash, nephew of the boy's father, conducted a hunt on his own In the plane from which he spra>s vegetable fields. He covered 75 miles but reported no sign of his missing cousin. Many gave information they hoped would serve as a clue. A road construction watchman asserted a green sedan headed westward with several men and a weeping child slowed at his project. Some persons reported indications the kidnapers might have use a boat. MOTHER NEAR (OLLAPSE There were many supporters, in- | eluding the lad s uncle, for a theory the kidnapers were local residents The child was easily frightened by strangers but the mother, helping her husband close the grocery for the night heard no outcry when he was taken. Maps which accompanied the ransom notes reflected thorough knowledge of local geography. In accordance with Instructions given by the kidnapers, the senior j Cash made a solitary drive in the misty da WTI today until winking headlights gave a signal. There he tossed a bundle of small bills, making up the $10,000 ransom to the roadside and returned In high spirits, reporting he expected word by noon as to where he could find his boy.

text: It's one of the great media mysteries of our time – even more than who still watches Peter Andre shows on ITV2. The question - just who is anonymously sending £50 notes to media types in the post? People who have received one so far include Absolute Radio breakfast DJ Christian O'Connell, Daily Mirror associate editor Kevin Maguire, BBC1 Breakfast presenter Bill Turnbull and writer and columnist Sebastian Shakespeare. Oh, and Media Monkey, who hasn't quite got around to taking it to the bank to double check it's genuine. We assume so, however, after Maguire said he donated his cash to Hope not hate. The note arrived in a plain envelope, with nothing else inside. The only (possible) clue was the Mount Pleasant postmark, a sorting office in central London near ITV and ITN and the Guardian's old home in Farringdon Road. What can it all mean?

The holiday season is under way and the Palm Coast Fire Department is asking everyone to help keep the wreaths green at the city's fire stations by preventing fires, according to a city news release.
PALM COAST — The holiday season is under way and the Palm Coast Fire Department is asking everyone to help keep the wreaths green at the city's fire stations by preventing fires, according to a city news release.
As part of its safety awareness efforts, the city has kicked off Project Green Wreath as a fire prevention program that runs through the end of the month. Large wreaths have been hung at all five city fire stations, with green light bulbs in each. Firefighters will replace one green light with a red light for each structure fire during the month.
"Project Green Wreath is a visual reminder of the importance of implementing and following fire safety practices during the holiday season," said Palm Coast Fire Chief Mike Beadle, in the news release. "We hope everyone will do their part to keep the wreaths green."
The following are tips for residents to keep the holidays safe and green:
- Never leave food that is cooking unattended.
- Select only the freshest natural trees, and remember to keep trees watered and away from heat sources (including televisions and radios).
- Use only artificial trees with safety tags.
- Ensure that trees and other decorations don't block exits.
- Check all light strings for damage; throw away light strings if they have frayed cords or sockets and replace with UL-approved devices.
- Never use "indoor" lights outside.
- Don't put cords under carpets or throw rugs.
- Be careful not to overload circuits or extension cords; check instructions on light strings to determine the maximum number that can be placed in one outlet.
- Before bed or leaving the house, turn off all holiday lights and extinguish all candles.
- Keep candles a safe distance from children and decorations, especially trees; never leave a candle unattended or burning through the night.
- Be sure to keep space heaters at least three feet from surrounding items.
- Never use heaters around water because water increases the chance of electric shock.
- Unplug heaters when not in use.
- Don't leave space heaters unattended.
- Make sure fireplaces are in good working order.
- Gift wrapping and tree branches should not be burned in the fireplace; their intense and rapid burning can cause chimney fires and flames to extend out of the firebox.
- Double-check smoke alarms and make sure they are in good working order.
For more information, contact the Palm Coast Fire Department at 386-986-2300.

And so we move on, into 2009...
The world's largest vintage motorcycle auction is held annually in Las Vegas, hosted by MidAmerica auctions, this year at the South Point Hotel, Jan. 8/9/10. This is the 18th iteration of this event, and... I've never been before! It had always been my policy, prior to the last two years, to avoid auctions, for the simple reason that I was very likely to part with my money if I found something interesting. And what's not to find interesting at an auction of old motorcycles? Thus, I have never walked away without buying a motorcycle... to the temporary detriment of my finances/marriage at times, but it's always worked out in the end.
But I'll be there this week, talking about the motorcycles as they're being auctioned away - not a bad gig. I may be a bit hoarse after 500 motorcycles pass under my nose, though.
Before the auction begins on Thursday night, I'll preview a few intriguing items. The complete catalog can be viewed here.
Most interesting to me by a long yard isn't a motorcycle at all, it's a set of original working drawings for the ACE motorcycle. The story of the ACE is interesting in itself, being the product of the brilliant William Henderson, the designer of those elegant 4-cylinder motorcycles which bore his name from 1913-17. After several years of production, Henderson sold his interest to Ignatz Shwinn, the bicycle manufacturer, who merged the 'Henderson' with his existing 'Excelsior' models.
William Henderson signed a two- year 'non-compete' clause with the sale of his business, but even during this period began to design a new 4-cylinder motorcycle, the ACE. While the new Excelsior-Henderson was altered from his original layout by using a sidevalve engine, Wm. Henderson saw this as a retrograde step. The new ACE used an 'F-head' with overhead intake valves, a design with almost the same performance at that time as a proper ohv job. When his 'non-compete' clause with Schwinn expired, Henderson had a machine ready to show potential investors in his new company.
The ACE was the fastest motorcycle in the world when introduced in 1920, with a top speed of nearly 90mph. In December 1922, two specially tuned ACE racers were built by Arthur Lemon, the XP3 and XP4. The XP4, which used extensive magnesium and was basically a one-off, was timed at 129.61mph in Nov, 1923 (20mph faster than the 'official' World Record, by the Temple-Anzani, of 108.5mph).
Revered as they are among collectors, four-cylinder motorcycles in general proved a losing proposition for American manufacturers (although Nimbus and FN made a better go of it, among the early adopters). ACE production commenced in fits and starts, with changes of venue and investors, as the company struggled to establish itself. William Henderson was killed on December 11, 1922, while road testing an ACE, after being struck by a car. His assistant Arthur Lemon continued to work as chief designer on the new machine, until the company was purchased by Indian in 1926.
The drawings at auction are those produced by William Henderson himself, and are apparently all signed by him and Arthur Lemon. According to motohistorical lore, they languished in the Indian Co. archives, and were assumed destroyed after Indian went out of business in 1953. The current owner, Bill Melvin, claims to have found them being thrown in a dumpster. "After spending much of my adult life looking for this type of treasure, it was overwhelming to find what represents the finest work of the most renowned designer in American motorcycle history. To think they were headed for a landfill. When I found them, I had goose bumps for a week."
I will be very curious indeed to see what this historical treasure fetches; in a sensible world, they would equal the value of one of the motorcycles for which these drawings were produced, such is the rarity of original, signed drawings of this quantity and specific focus.

The drawings were on eBay last week, bidding topped out at $38,100. They did not meet the sellers reserve.

The Biggest Chuunin Exam Ever
Chapter One: Welcome to Kumogakure
Disclaimer: Naruto is copyright 199something-2009 (well, until it ends, actually) Kishimoto. It's published in Jump and I have no idea who puts out the Tankoban. Viz does the official English translation? I don't know. I guess what I'm getting at is what I, personally, am doing is fanfiction that is created without profit or the intent to profit.
This story is a sequel to "Spying no Jutsu." I heartily recommend reading that first ( story ID is 2859078), although I suppose you don't have to.
"Welcome to the Village Hidden in the Clouds." Ebisu said, pushing his glasses up his nose.
Konohamaru smiled, hopping up to bounce off the side of a pole and then swarm up the side a building, before taking in the panorama. "So cool!" He enthused.
Kumogakure was built into the mountains, hollowed out so that each one was a patchwork of lights from the apartments and offices carved into them, with agricultural fields and training grounds scattered across the slopes and valleys between them.
"Get down." Hanabi scoffed. "You're making us look like idiots."
"Ah, go easy on him, Hanabi-chan." Naruto said lightly. "After all, this is a first time in another village for you guys."
Sai smiled his plastic smile. ANBU rarely operated outside of the Fire Country, and when they did it was almost invariably the elite who did so. Sai was not a member of that elite group.
Moegi giggled at her team-mates antics, and Udon just shook his head.
Yamato made eye contact with Ebisu, and the other jounin simply shrugged, as if to say, 'I can't control everything they do.'
"Konohamaru!" Ebisu said. "Get down here. You need to be briefed before the mission."
"Hai!" The boy said, and then leapt, scarf streaming behind him as he lightly landed next to his team-mates.
Ebisu cleared his throat, glancing at Yamato for permission. When the other man nodded, he spoke. "As you know, this year Konoha has been invited to the chuunin exam being hosted by Kumogakure. Our allies the Hidden Sand have been invited as well. Cloud's allies, Stone and Mist, will also be returning this year." Ebisu paused. "You might not realize this, but this marks the first chuunin exam in the history of the village system that will be attended by all five major villages."
"This is, without exaggeration, the biggest chuunin exam ever." Ebisu continued. "As such it represents an unprecedented opportunity for everyone involved. This is the first time since the last Secret War that ninja from all five villages will compete against each other. And this will be in public, with nobles and wealthy merchants and other customers watching. The village that performs best during this exam will earn a huge amount of prestige."
"Don't worry!" Konohamaru shouted. "We'll blow everyone away!"
Ebisu grunted with long-suffering tolerance at his student's antics, before continuing. "For that reason, every village has sent their strongest genin, the elite of the next generation. And I am very proud of you three for being selected as the strongest genin squad in Konoha. Although my teaching made it possible, it is the long dedication to missions and training that made Team Six stand above all other genin squads in Konoha. Whatever happens, I'm very proud of you three."
"Which brings me to my briefing." Yamato said. "Hyuuga Hanabi, you are considered the most talented genin of your generation; that is why you are being allowed to test early. Sai was raised within the ANBU and probably has more field experience than any of you…" Yamato paused. "Except, perhaps, you, Naruto."
He glanced at his three. "You three are not a genin squad. You have been assembled as a trump card to secure glory for Hidden Leaf. I expect you to act like the professionals you are and secure prestige for our village."
Ebisu nodded. "Yes. This is an important opportunity for us. Your behavior here will reflect on the whole village. Conduct yourself admirably so everyone will see how great Konoha ninja are!"
"That goes double for you, Naruto-niisan!" Konohamaru said, getting a dig in on the one he admired.
"Oye!" Naruto said, smiling. "Don't get cocky just because we're testing together. I'm still going to blow everyone away with my super-amazing jutsu!"
Hanabi crossed her arms, frowning. The short trip had done nothing to endear the exceedingly loud orange ninja to her, and he brought similar behavior out of Konohamaru, making his confidence bleed into something like overblown arrogance. She didn't like Naruto and she didn't like how he made Konohamaru act.
"Ah, don't be like that, Hanabi-chan!" Naruto said, laughing. He danced forward, somehow getting inside her guard to ruffle her hair. "We can still have fun while looking super-cool." He paused, before grinning again. "Well, I guess looking cool and having fun are kinda exclusive with the image the Hyuuga maintain, but whatever!"
"Hey!" Konohamaru said. "Hanabi-chan is cool even when she's having fun!"
"Shut up." Hanabi hissed at Konohamaru.
Naruto guffawed. "Is there… is there something going on with you two?"
"No." Hanabi announced.
"Yeah." Udon spoke up at the same time.
Hanabi glared daggers at the shy boy, and Naruto began laughing uproariously. Hanabi, embarrassed, lashed out, punching Naruto in the stomach.
Naruto looked down, hunched over from the blow to the gut. "I'm about to get into trouble." He observed, and then poofed into smoke.
Konohamaru was the first to speak. "A Kage Bunshin?" He said, having realized what had happened.
"Damn right, you're in trouble." Yamato growled. Naruto sneaking off like that annoyed him, but not as much as doing it without Yamato noticing. That offended his pride as a jounin.
Naruto paused as he walked up along the street that wound around the mountain like the threads cut into a screw. "Huh." He said. "I guess my clone got popped…" He shrugged. His childhood had given him a casual disregard for authority. Travelling with Jiraiya gave him casual contempt. Sometimes he thought it ironic that he was so obnoxious to all his authority figures when he wanted to be Hokage.
But right now Naruto was thinking about Ramen. He'd traded a few letters with Yugito, and she made it sound like there was this really great place somewhere around here. So he was looking for Ichisaku Ramen. He could tell it would be great just from the name.
Yugito stared down into the bowl of noodles, frowning. Her eyes had been bigger than her stomach; sure, she could put this third bowl away, but she wasn't really that hungry.
She sighed, playing with her noodles. Eating alone wasn't very fun, but she wasn't really close enough to anyone to go out and eat with them. It was ironic, she thought, that when she was alone, she never felt lonely, but when out and about, she most keenly felt the isolation.
Yugito knew that Kumo had a relatively… enlightened attitude towards their jinchuuriki, thanks in large part to the efforts of the previous Raikage, for the sake of his brother. Still… even if they were polite, no one would ever allow themselves to forget that she was a jinchuuriki. Rather than rudeness, people were in awe and somewhat… wary.
Hands reached forward on either side of her head and closed over her eyes. She reached for a kunai at the same time a voice whispered in her ear, "Guess who."
She felt a smile come to her face. "Naruto." His hands pulled away, and she turned to look at him over her shoulder. Before she get could get a look at him, though, she heard the distinctive sound of a Kage Bunshin dispelling.
She paused, wondering what he was playing at, when she felt a breath in her other ear. "Over here," he whispered, and she jumped, twisting around and nearly jumping off her stool.
Again, the bunshin popped.
She stared at the dissipating cloud of smoke. "Naruto…" she growled, beginning to feel annoyed. She heard the sound of her bowl of ramen being dragged across the counter, very deliberately scraping the counter.
She lashed out without looking, catching his wrist in her hand. Relatively certain she finally had him, she finally turned to look.
His smile was still incredibly open and warm, smile lines radiating from the corners of his eyes and drawing back his cheeks so his teeth were shining out. He still wore his forehead protector correctly on his forehead, and his face had… sharpened, losing the roundness and taking on a more mature, adult shape. Combined with the black shouldering of his new (but still orange) jumpsuit, he looked very mature and, in Yugito's opinion, quite masculine.
"Naruto." She said again, and she realized she was smiling back.
"Yugito." His smile changed, becoming something mischievous. "Yugito-chan." He tried to pull his hand back, but she kept her grip firm. "Can I have my hand back?"
"I don't think so." She responded archly. "Your hand seems to be gripping a bowl of ramen that doesn't belong to you."
"Well you certainly weren't eating it." He protested. "I watched for like, five minutes."
"You were watching me eat?" Yugito said.
"I was watching you not eat." Naruto pointlessly corrected. "I was looking for this place, 'cause you mentioned it was good, and then I came up and I saw you through the curtain, and I just kinda, stopped, you know."
"No, I don't know." Yugito replied. "But please, do tell."
"Well, see, I was just walking along, minding my own business, and bam! I saw you out of the corner of my eye, and immediately turned to look. And then like, five minutes passed."
Yugito smiled again. Despite being inarticulate, Naruto could be very sweet. She let go of his wrist. "Why don't you have some ramen?" She asked.
"My treat." She dryly added, as he cheered and started eating her noodles.
She watched him for a minute. He ate quickly, almost shoveling it in. Despite that, not a single drop of broth fell. She wondered if he was doing it with chakra or something. Usually, it was necessary to lean forward and eat over the bowl, but he was sitting up pretty straight, holding the bowl with his left hand while he deftly lifted noodles with his right.
He paused, and made eye contact, raising an eye brow. He swallowed, and spoke. "Something on my face?"
She reached out on impulse, and ran her finger down his cheek. The whisker-like indentations on his face were very slight to touch. "Nothing that isn't always on your face." She replied.
He shrugged uncertainly, and went back to eating.
"So, what brings you to Kumo?" she asked.
He pushed back the bowl, and turned to face her, casually leaning one elbow on the counter. "Well, I'm here for the chuunin exam, actually."
Yugito nodded. "Everyone is talking about it. We've got practically every nation in the elemental countries represented, so it's a huge group."
He nodded. "Yeah, the old lady wouldn't let up on the whole thing. She thinks I'm gonna cause a scene or something." He chuckled at that.
"You remember when we met?" She said lightly.
"That wasn't my fault!" He protested. "It's not like I asked four S-class missing-nin to show up!"
"No." She allowed. "You just fought with them to protect the people you were supposed to be spying on."
Naruto shrugged. "Well, you know. I couldn't let them take you. What Village you're from doesn't matter, you're someone precious to me." He glanced to the side, and the proprietor of the stand caught his eye. He stood, and she followed, opening her wallet to lay down some bills for the food.
"Hey, I can cover my bowl." He began, but she shook her head. "Nah, I was picking at it first. And anyway, I already said it was my treat." She glanced up at him. "You can pay next time."
"It's a date." He agreed, ignoring the surprised look he got from the stand proprietor for flirting with a jinchuriki. Yugito hesitated an instant before finishing counting out the money.
The two set off, ambling down the street.
"So the chuunin exam?" Yugito prompted.
Naruto grinned. "Yeah, it's gonna be great. I'm really excited to see who all's gonna be there."
Yugito nodded. "Speaking of, remember Kamome?"
Naruto frowned, and then his eyes lit up. "Oh yeah! She was pretty cool. I was really impressed by those gauntlet things that made her raiton so awesome."
"That was Raiko." Yugito corrected. "Kamome was the other one."
Naruto frowned, hand going to his chin in almost a parody of an 'I'm thinking' expression. Finally, he snapped his fingers. "Oh! You mean the kuudere with the tight pants and all those swords."
"Kuudere?" Yugito began, before shaking her head. "No, it doesn't matter. More importantly, you're still thinking of the wrong person. That's Kirema. She's the commander of Raikage-sama's Sword Squads. Kamome is the other-other one."
Naruto nodded. "Ah! The awesome lady with the bears!"
Yugito shook her head. "Ursura-sama is the Tsuchikage, Naruto. She's not even from this village. And I can play the straight man for as long as you can play stupid, I'm not going to take the bait."
He paused. "You're awesome." Naruto said, with great conviction.
She couldn't see the expression on his face; they both were squinting as they walked out on to a great causeway that connected two sides of a ravine. As they walked out onto the great arched bridge, they came out of the shadow of the mountain and into the slanting afternoon sunlight.
"Kamome was the one with the big birds and the poofy clothes, right?" He continued.
"That would be her, yes." Yugito said. "She was assigned a genin team shortly before we met. They're taking this exam."
Naruto chuckled. "Kamome was pretty cool, but she always sounded a little bit like she was on stage. I can see it now." Abruptly, he jumped up, twisting about and creating a pair of Kage Bunshin mid-air. The trio landed on the chain-link fence that prevented people from plummeting to a messy death. Many shinobi could take such a fall with ease, and Yugito believed that Naruto was one of them. But she still felt a slither of worry.
Then they struck poses like a transforming hero team. "Soaring across the sky like a whole mess of storm clouds, we're the genin trio of the great Asagiri Kamome!" Then one lept up and across the speaker's shoulder, arms straight out as he kept his body straight. "I'm a spear." It added in an aside.
Passerby stopped, and stared at the orange genin making a spectacle of himself.
Three of those staring were a trio, two boys and a girl, each about fourteen years old.
The tallest, wearing the standard issue jumpsuit of a Kumo-nin, with a cloth vest that reminded Naruto of Jiraiya, stepped forward, frowning underneath his slightly slanted forehead protector. He kicked the fence, and the Narutos wobbled precariously.
"That's for mocking sensei." He declared.
Naruto (the one holding Naruto-the-spear) chuckled. What a coincidence. Unfortunately he was still attempting to keep his balance, so he ended up falling backwards. Naruto-the-spear flailed, trying to help him balance, but really only making it worse.
Naruto fell. Naruto-the-spare tried to catch him, but only managed to get dragged off the side fence and plummet with the other two. All of this happened in less than a second.
Everyone started in shock for an instant.
"Naruto!" Yugito cried, jumping onto the fence and looking down, prepared to plunge after him to the rescue.
"I didn't mean to kill him!" The genin cried.
"I appreciate that." Naruto said behind him, badly startling the boy.
"Naruto!" Yugito cried in relief, jumping down. "Are you okay?" He obviously was, so she immediately moved on. "Then, what was…?" She said, looking over her shoulder.
Naruto shrugged. "Whenever I create Kage Bunshin, I'm in the habit of creating a spare or two, you know. Just in case." He glanced meaningfully at the boy next to him. "It's saved my butt a time or two."
Moving quickly from mortified fear to mortified anger, the boy swatted at him. "Well it's your fault for making fun of sensei!" He accused.
"Let it go, Gonta." His female teammate sighed. She stepped forward, and bowed to Naruto. She had a broad skirt, tied with a bow over a pair of pants tied shut just below the knee and a kimono-like shirt loosely folded shut over some kind of combat vest. Her forehead protector was tied around her right bicep.
"I apologize for my teammate." She said. "He has a teacher complex, you see."
"Obei!" The boy, identified as Gonta, protested her words, blushing. "That's not something you say to a stranger!" He swiveled around and swung a punch at a laughing Naruto, who dodged. "And you shut up!" He added.
"I don't think it's something you say at all." The last teammate commented. He was wearing a long-sleeved kimono tied shut over a ninja jumpsuit, and his forehead protector was attached to the front of the bucket-like hat that was cinched around his head. "Even if Gonta's a teachercon, you shouldn't say it."
"Not you too, Yasuke!" Gonta sputtered.
"Is this really any way to act in front of a foreign ninja?" Yugito accused. "He's here for the chuunin exams, you know."
Gonta eyed Naruto. Then he made eye contact with his teammates Obei and Yasuke, both of whom were evaluating the orange ninja before them in a new light.
"It's true!" Naruto said. Then he smiled widely, eyes shut as he put his hands behind his head.
Yugito shook her head. "You better hope he's not the one chosen as your proctor."
"Foreign nin can't proctor our chuunin exam!" Gonta protested.
"They're involved this year." Yugito scolded. "They're not in any position of authority, but select foreign ninja are asked to participate in a specific way for this one."
"Actually, uh, I'm not proctoring the exam." Naruto said.
Yugito paused. "You're right." She said. "I'm sorry, I just assumed since you said you were here for the chuunin exams, that…"
Naruto shrugged. "It's okay. Actually, I--"
"Back up." Yasuke interrupted. "What was that about him being our proctor?"
Yugito paused.
Obei and Yasuke traded looks.
"What?" Gonta said. "Did I miss something?"
Gonta startled. "What's with everybody sneaking up behind me today!" He shouted, turning. He paused, and smiled brightly. "Sensei!"
"Good Afternoon, Gonta." She said, smiling down at her student. "I trust that you have not burdened Yasuke and Obei this afternoon?"
"Sensei…" Gonta protested.
"Not too much." Obei said. "He almost killed this blond guy, though."
Kamome turned, and bowed to the foreign-nin. "Good Afternoon, Naruto-san. Let me extend the hospitality of Kumogakure; I'm glad that we are meeting under more auspicious conditions this time."
Naruto blinked. "Yeah, thanks. It's really good to see you, too."
"You still haven't answered my question." Yasuke complained.
Kamome drew herself up formally. "I would like your attention, please, my students." She swept her gaze across her three genin. "As of noon today, Raikage-sama has accepted, under the name Asagiri Kamome, the nomination of Team K for the upcoming chuunin exam."
With a flourish, he held out three envelopes. "Your tickets of admission to the exam."
Yasuke took his with reverence, and Obei smiled brightly.
"Sensei!" Gonta shouted, flinging his arms around Kamome. "You're totally the best!"
"He is a teachercon." Naruto muttered to himself, as Gonta pulled back.
"So… you hadn't told them yet?" Yugito said.
"I had intended to surprise them when we met today." Kamome replied.
"I'm sorry I ruined your surprise." Yugito said.
"Nii Yugito, I accept your apology." Kamome said. Then she turned to Naruto. "I understand that you're also here for the chuunin exams, Naruto-san?"
"Yeah!" Naruto replied, smiling.
Kamome nodded. "I see. It makes sense that such an important ninja such as yourself would be sent by the Hokage to observe the tournament and connect with the others attending."
"Uh, actually—" Naruto began.
"Wait wait wait!" Gonta said. "This guy is supposed to be all that, but he totally fell off the fence like a fool!"
"Actually," Yasuke began, "he rather masterfully played us into thinking that, but none of those clones were actually him."
Obei nodded. "Yeah Gonta. He was never in any danger from you."
"Let that be a lesson to you." Kamome said severely. "Kumo doesn't know much about Naruto-san, but a jounin with as much skill in genjutsu such as himself will rarely be as he appears."
"Actually," Naruto said loudly, "I'm a genin. I'm here to participate in the chuunin exam."
Everyone stared.
"I don't believe you." Yugito finally said.
"I'm serious!" Naruto said, still smiling. It was odd, but nice, he thought. That these people recognized his strength already, that they didn't believe he could be merely genin rank. It was different, it was nice to have his strength be recognized.
"I find it very hard to believe you have not successfully passed a chuunin exam, Naruto-san." Kamome diplomatically said, supporting Yugito's statement.
"Well I only took the one, and we kinda got invaded." He said, looking away. "And after that it was pretty crazy with all the stuff going on, like that mission I met you guys at, and then the crazy old pervert dragged me all over the continent for training, and basically… well, I just never got the chance to take another one."
"I think I need to take you to see the Raikage." Yugito finally said.
"Why?" Naruto reponded.
"Because… it'll be easier for the Raikage to explain it." Yugito gestured hesitantly with her hands.
"Okay." Naruto said. "Let's go."
Kamome and her genin watched them leave.
"So… is he a genin or what?" Gonta finally asked.
"I don't know." Kamome admitted. "But… I would advise against fighting him. I'm proud of you three, but you're simply no match for him."
Naruto cringed as Yugito brought him to the hallway outside the Raikage's office. Waiting was the rest of his team that he'd ditched as well as Konohamaru and his gang.
"Glad you could join us." Yamato said. "If you weren't here to pick up your exam ticket the Raikage could immediately disqualify you." He loomed over Naruto, face underlit with intense shadowing to emphasize his anger. "It would be you head, but I don't want that associated with me."
"I'm sorry." Naruto said.
"I guess you have no balls to go with having no dick." Sai added.
Naruto snarled, and Yugito paused. "…what?" she finally asked.
"Dickless." Sai said, indicating Naruto as he smiled. He felt his smile was getting more natural.
Yugito nodded, off-balance. "I… huh."
"Don't worry about it!" the irrepressible Konohamaru replied. "Sai's just trying to get along, but he's really, really bad at nicknames!"
"I'm practicing getting along smoothly with others." Sai explained. "Dickless and Shorty have been very helpful."
This time Konohamaru also snarled at what Sai said.
"Enough." Yamato said. "Naruto, I don't think you understand. First impressions are very important. You can't just go wandering off. If you get in a fight it could even lead to a war between Kumo and Konoha. You have to be on your best behavior when you're in another village to take the chuunin exam."
"The first time I met Kankuro he almost killed Konohamaru." Naruto replied. "If Sakura-chan and me hadn't been there he would've been in a lot of trouble."
"I would have been fine!" Konohamaru insisted. "I had Udon and Moegi to watch my back!"
"Dude, Kankuro would totally have killed you." Naruto said.
"I would have." Kankuro said from behind Konohamaru.
Without missing a beat, Konohamaru spun around and pointed. "Nobody asked a painted lady like you!"
Kankuro frowned. "Now I remember why I wanted to in the first place. Anyway." He grinned, stepping forward and slapping Naruto on the arm. "Good to see you, man."
"Kankuro!" Naruto enthused. "It's great to see you!" He said, returning the slap. Kankuro still wore the thick layer of make-up, although he had changed the pattern since Naruto had last seen him and had finally lost the cat-eared hood. "What are you doing here, man?"
"Ah, you know." Kankuro shrugged. "I've been helping some genin with their puppets, you know, like a study group, and Gaara said they were ready, so I'm here as their jounin-sensei for the exam."
"You got promoted?" Naruto said. "Congratulations!"
"Thanks." Kankuro replied. "Mostly I was sick of Temari being insufferable about outranking me."
"So where are your tykes, anyway?" Naruto said, completely oblivious to the fact that the 'tykes' could very easily be his own age, or even a few years older.
"Ah, I cut 'em loose and told 'em not to get into any more trouble than they could cover up." Kankuro said. "I just dropped by to pick up their exam tickets."
Naruto turned to Yamato, who just sighed. "Never mind."
"So anyway, who's this cutie?" Kankuro said, indicating Yugito.
"Oh!" Naruto said. "I guess I should do some introductions… Kankuro's the guy in the paint, and he's a ninja-puppeteer, which is totally not as lame as it sounds, and this is Yugito, she's a jounin from Kumo." The two nodded, although Kankuro grimaced as Naruto had never yet failed to knock his chosen art whenever he got the chance.
"Anyway," Naruto continued, "the dude wearing half a shirt is Sai, and the tiny princess is Hanabi." He leaned close, ignoring Hanabi's huff and Sai's oblivious wave and smile and whispered "Hanabi is a Hyuuga, you know," like it was a secret and not something either of his foreign jounin friends could tell just by looking.
"Our jounin commander is this Yamato guy, who's totally awesome and an ANBU captain, which is so totally great, only I'm not supposed to say." He blithely ignored Yamato's frustrated eye-roll.
"Then we have: Team Six! Super cool!" Naruto announced. "Despite having that stiff guy Ebisu—ooh, he's doing that push-his-glasses-up-his-nose-thing—for a jounin-sensei, they're actually pretty awesome." He pointed at the one in the scarf. "Konohamaru is my favorite, but that's probably just because he's the most shameless about copying my style."
Brushing past Konohamaru's protests, he indicated "Moegi, she's well on her way to being a super-kunoichi like Tsunade or Ursura or, like, Tenten or something," and finally "Udon, who's super-shy, or just the silent killer type, I can't really tell. Either way he's definitely reliable."
He smiled at Yugito, who smiled back uncertainly, and Kankuro, who was shaking his head. "I totally don't get how you're still alive with the way you talk about people."
Naruto shrugged. "It's a gift."
The secretary cleared his throat. The group turned, and the man smiled uncertainly up from his desk in front of the door to the village leader's office.
"The Raikage will see you now." He announced.
Itachi paused, and Kisame groaned. The two were deep in the boonies of the Fire Country, following rumors surrounding the Four-Tails. The Fourth Jinchuuriki had been suspiciously quiet in the last two years, practically going to ground. It was a difficult, annoying job to track him.
But the Leader had summoned and he would not be denied.
So the two sat cross legged on an escarpment overlooking the a tributary that would eventually join the great river and crash over the waterfall at the Valley of the End, and closed their eyes to engage the astral projection jutsu that allowed the Akatsuki to convene nearly instantly.
Kisame opened his eyes, and took in the wavering images of the rest of the group, standing on the fingers of the great sealing statue in their hidden cave.
As soon as the Nine were assembled, Pein spoke.
"Intelligence has just been received that all five major villages will be participating in the chuunin exam at Kumogakure." Pein swept his gaze across his Akatsuki after making his announcement.
"What does this have to do with us?" He asked, voicing the question that was on their minds but had not voiced.
"There is too much danger that the Five Powers will collude at this exam, and interfere with my plan. This cannot be allowed to happen." Pein said. "Some of you will be dispatched to teach the villages the futility of their false peace, that excludes the suffering of the smaller villages and the buffer countries."
Kisame was the one that spoke up. "So we're going to… interrupt their chuunin exam?"
Pein nodded. "Yes. Ironically, all the nobles that are gathered to evaluate the villages based on their chuunin can be shown the true power of this era: We, the Akatsuki."
Kisame nodded. "And who's gonna get stuck with that job?" He said, ignoring the curt 'shut-up' gesture that Itachi was making.
"I'm glad you volunteered, Kisame." Pein said.
Kisame rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah."
Pein turned back to the group, closing his eyes as he spoke. "The primary mission falls to Sasori and Deidara. They will terrorize the exam and drive the whole village into chaos to destabilize the exam and undercut confidence in the villages. Kisame, Itachi; you will support them by acting as a surgical strike force to take out the strongest individual opponents. I leave the details of this to you."
Pein opened his eyes. "You are dismissed."
With a wavering snap, seven disappeared. Pein turned to Konan. Something crossed between them in the silence. "I'm worried." Pein finally admitted.
"About the exam?" Konan asked.
Pein shook his head. "I think I might have moved too fast. Some of the Kage have been spooked and are worried more about us than each other."
Konan considered that. "Does it threaten the Plan?"
Pein shook his head. "The will of God is absolute. But I would prefer to unleash our power between them, not against them as a unified force."
Konan tilted her head to the side. "But won't their despair be more absolute if even united they cannot oppose divine will?"
Pein paused, and nodded. "Yes, but if it happens too quickly the shock will be too great and the true futility of war will not be recognized."
Konan folded her hands. "I believe in you."
"The will of God is absolute." Pein repeated his benediction.
AN: "Expect "The Biggest Chuunin Exam Ever" in a few weeks." I said that what, frigging March? Now it's September? I guess "a few" is like 30 or something.
So yeah, no guarantees when the next chapter is coming, it could be like August or something. But! I will say this is the fourth independent, unique draft I created for the beginning. Now that I've actually hit my stride instead of slamming into a wall, I expect my productivity will be going more smoothly.

Eisenhower's War of Words: Rhetoric and Leadership
€ 44,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
April 1994
BeschreibungEisenhower's War of Words: Rhetoric and Leadership paints a revisionist portrait of Dwight Eisenhower as a strategic communicator who was highly involved in the series of crises that characterized his administrations. As a consummate cold warrior, Eisenhower understood that words, images, perceptions, and the shaping of attitudes was central to the ongoing battle with the Soviet Union. He used rhetoric - actions and messages intentionally designed to persuade - to achieve many of his goals. To Ike, rhetoric were the central weapon for waging - and winning - the Cold War. Understood as a strategic art of selection, arrangement, nuance, timing, and audience adaptation, rhetoric became, for Eisenhower, the preferred means of conflict resolution. Examining both foreign and domestic crises, Eisenhower's War of Words reveals a chief executive who was always thinking, planning, and looking for the opportune moment to strike. Individual chapters are devoted to the crises concerning Vietnam, McCarthyism, the H-Bomb, massive retaliation, Open Skies, Suez, Sputnik, Little Rock, the U-2 Affair, and the military-industrial complex. Eisenhower's rhetorical leadership saw America through a decade that was anything but tranquil. This book examines one of the primary means by which he accomplished that goal.

The countdown was supposed to go tick-tock while the world continued to go tut-tut. It wasn't and isn't like that. Tiger Woods did not announce yesterday that he is coming back to his sport any time soon. In fact, from a sporting point of view he didn't announce anything. As Nick Faldo put it: "As golfers we are back to square one."
In truth, golf has never left that wretched starting point; not in the three months since Woods drove into that fire hydrant outside his home and all his marital deceit proceeded to pour forth. The game certainly hoped it was about to move on when Woods' "coming out" party was announced on Wednesday. Indeed, the word was that he would return to the professional fairways as early next month. He will not. The "indefinite break" stretches out like an ominous wasteland.
Of course, in the midst of the surreal scene at PGA Tour headquarters – which was half Presidential address, half Jerry Springer – the game of golf seemed totally irrelevant. Here was Woods giving the most extraordinary performance of his life, a husband and father-of-two standing 10 feet in front of his mother and basically admitting to have been one of the most deceitful superstars ever to submit to the temptations of fame and money. "I am sorry." He said it over and over. But he didn't say what his profession yearned to hear. "Yeah we've had our apology," commented Faldo. "But as far as golf is concerned, he has still left the biggest question mark – when will he return?"
Last night the sport and its chroniclers were still raking over the few seconds out of the 13 minutes Woods dedicated to his immediate employment schedule, in a futile attempt to extract an answer. "I do plan to return to golf one day," said Woods. "I just don't know when that day will be. I don't rule out that it will be this year."
What does that mean and when will that be? The cynic will no doubt disagree but it is clearly all linked to his rehab and the progression thereof. After 45 days' of treatment Woods will today return to the Mississippi sex addiction clinic. "I still have such a long way to go," he said. The Masters is out of the equation. The first major of the year takes place in a little over six weeks and Woods will require a prep tournament, if not two. Who knows, perhaps the US Open at his beloved Pebble Beach in June will also come too soon. Four weeks later follows the 150th staging of our very own Open Championship at our very own golfing Mecca, St Andrews. Surely he can't miss that?
Well, yesterday indicated he can and possibly will. The officials were not about to issue anything other than "we just hope he conquers his problems" statements but, be sure, their concerns are as present as they are as justified. Without Woods, television audiences halve and with half an audience comes half the proceeds. Long-term contracts might have meant that the losses are limited but with Woods apparently this uncertain the next contracts will not be easily signed. The PGA Tour, for one, is at a critical stage in its history as the sponsorship of the big financial institutions becomes a memory and the other endorsers hesitate at the enormity of the required commitment. The commissioner, Tim Finchem, looked as suitably humble as every one of Woods' "friends, colleagues and close associates" in that Jacksonville room yesterday. But he could be forgiven if inside his gut was churning. This saga could still herald an economic calamity for his organisation.
Certainly, it will make the other players think, particularly all who raged against the timing of this mea culpa spectacular. On Wednesday, Ernie Els had called Woods "selfish" for opting to overshadow the Accenture World Match Play Championship in such ecliptic fashion. The South African's remarks were understandable, especially as Accenture just happened to be the first sponsors to drop Woods in the infidelity fallout. There remains a lot of scepticism as to why Woods had to pick this particular Friday to open his heart and the straight-back-to-therapy factor went only part of the way in convincing many why it had to occur in mid-competition. "I don't buy that one," said Faldo.
But none of the other professionals would dare to pose any doubts. For when the world No 1 said "when I do return I need to make my behaviour more respectful of the game" he sounded anything but selfish. In fact he sounded anything but Tiger.
In many respects his tone, his body language and, yes, his sincerity were the most chilling aspect of this excruciating confession. "Careful for what you wish for" they say and the sight of this broken soul did make one wonder if the doubtless Tiger of old would ever be witnessed again. In urging Woods to "get on the private plane with your family and play some golf" Faldo may have been misunderstanding the demands of Woods' recovery. But, again, from a golfing perspective he could be excused any insensitivity. There was undoubtedly a PR myth created, but still Woods's utter certainty on the golf course was the foundation on which the no-weaknesses illusion was built. Now, he doesn't even know when he will next tee it up in anger again.
"I'm surprised by that," said Faldo. "Here was a man who, along with Jack Nicklaus, was the most mentally strong player ever to step on a golf course. And to him not being to sort this out ... well. His whole world has been golf and if he does not get back to it you assume he does not have a world. You would have thought he would have wanted to get on with this as quickly as possible."
Golf has to accept that Woods will be doing it as quickly as possible, just as it has no other option but to accept he is genuine about returning a changed man. Cynicism will still rule in the locker room and when he does return they will await the first curse, the first thrown club, the first statement or action of supreme arrogance. Does he truly believe the "same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me?" Because he didn't used to.
Even on Thursday most of his peers were convinced that he would be the same old Tiger. They saw the staged pictures of him on the range so close to his Orlando home and that fateful driveway and saw a transparent publicity machine in operation. They put this disgust alongside the timing and the ridiculously controlled environment of the announcement and then with the admit-very-little silence of the previous months. And most thought to themselves, "he actually thinks he's still in control, he actually thinks he can get away with it, just like he always did".
Well, the clubhouse might see it a little differently now. Woods claims not even to be in control of his "addiction" yet and definitely not of his personal life. He has been in a clinic for seven weeks already and will return for at least another two. Woods probably took the chance to hit a few balls on Thursday because he hadn't done so since the car span off the drive. He is in no fit shape physically to relaunch his assault on the record books, just as he is in no fit state mentally. After one long personal process will come one long professional process. Golf will just have to stand in line. It won't be next month, or the month after and we can only pray it will be May. And then we will discover how different the Tiger Woods Show will really be.
Will he be the same golfer, can he be the same golfer, or will the vulnerability and self-awareness wreak their rough justice through his psyche and hence his game? And if he can't scale the previously inhabited heights again what exactly will that mean to his sport and its riches? They remain the questions golf is interested in. And after yesterday they should sound more foreboding than ever. When will that day be?

This was the worst experience I have had, hands down! I started with Jay. He quoted me 1600 and it ended up being 2788.00! There were so many hidden charges. It started horrible NAND got worse throughout the day. The movers were extremely unprofessional and got into a huge fight at the end of the night! If you want your personal stuff broken, wood floors scratched, walls dinged, and clean up cigarette butts for 30 minutes after they leave, please feel free!! Then when I spoke with Jay he would only knock off 400 off, which should have been a lot more!! Do not use this company...I don't know how they are in business!

Day 11: When in Rome
One last trip down (and back up) the steep steps of Positano for breakfast, we were picked up again and back on our way to Naples. The drive was much more enjoyable in the daylight, and we could watch the sharp turns come and go and see the sheer drop off to the side at every hairpin. Back in Naples, we guarded our gear while waiting for the train …

Finally, we knew we had to do something so we wouldn't miss our train. It seemed like others had the situation under control and the ambulance was on it's way. Dana and I hopped off the #75 and grabbed another bus to the train station.
