Bush Summer Hires Targeted

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has a little trick up his sleeve that could spell an end to President Bush's devilish recess appointments of controversial figures like former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton. We hear that over the long August vacation, when those types of summer hires are made, Reid will call the Senate into session just long enough to force the prez to send his nominees who need confirmation to the chamber. The talk is he will hold a quickie "pro forma" session every 10 days, tapping a local senator to run the hall. Senate workers and Republicans are miffed, but Reid is proving that he's the new sheriff in town.

The Man Was All Communication

"The man was all communication. His music making was magnificently extroverted. There was always this wonderful sense of danger that he would lose control, which he never did, but which contributed to the excitement of his playing. I remember us walking the streets of Philadelphia trailed by his awful pianist Dedukhin, who was KGB. He followed him around everywhere. Slava would make comments about the lack of freedom in Russia, smile, and say 'I make joke, I make joke.' We all know now that it wasn't a joke.

"This totally charming guy, youthful and adorable like a puppy dog, ran over and grabbed the music out of my hands. I thought it must have been his assistant. Imagine my surprise when he took me by the hand, sat me on the floor a few yards away from his cello, and let me listen to him rehearse. I was so close that I could feel the vibrations in my chest.
