  5. -03-10-09 Shakespeare's Portrait (Time.com)
      "Shakespeareans have been tantalized for generations by the possibility that a genuine life portrait of the man survives somewhere. Now Stanley Wells, professor emeritus of Shakespeare Studies at Birmingham University and one of the world's most distinguished Shakespeare scholars, says he has identified one. Wells is convinced that an oil painting on wood panel that has rested for centuries in the collection of an old Irish family was painted from life around 1610, when Shakespeare was 46. If that's so, it would be the only true likeness we have of the greatest writer of the English language." 03-09

  10. Editorial - Cheney Offers Hachet Job on Kerry (CBS News - Meyer)
      "Vice President Dick Cheney came before the nation, flicked open his deadpan stiletto and filleted John Kerry."

      "It was a masterful job, quite devastating. It was the most effective, cold and concise evisceration of John Kerry I have seen. Not only was it, in my view, skilled electioneering, it drew a not-inaccurate portrait of Kerry that is bound to disturb any voter whose mind isn't entirely closed." 9-04

  14. Private Thoughts of General Robert E. Lee (US News)

Lee Through His Private Letters, historian Elizabeth Brown Pryor draws on a cache of previously unknown Lee family papers, discovered in 2002 in two sturdy wooden trunks that Lee's daughter stored in a Virginia bank about a century ago. Quoting from these and other overlooked letters, Pryor presents a multifaceted man, more accessible and at the same time more puzzling than ever. He was an irrepressible flirt, and, contrary to popular belief, Lee not only believed in slavery; he was capable of treating his own slaves cruelly." 06-07

  15. 07-30-07 Chelsea Clinton's Role as Daughter (MSNBC News)
      "Many interviews with Ms. [Chelsea] Clinton’s friends followed the same pattern: requests not to be identified in the article, followed by warm descriptions of Ms. Clinton, then moments of anxiety that she would find out about the praise. Still, in more than a dozen interviews, a consensus portrait emerged, that of a sincere, serious woman who, consciously or not, has picked up a few politicianlike habits." 07-07

  20. Jennifer Jones Dies at 90 (IMDB.com)
      "When Jennifer Jones arrived in Hollywood in 1939, she still called herself Phylis Isley. Her face and especially her eyes drew the attention of the producer David O. Selznick, who did not only allow her a great career but also fell in love with her and finally married Jennifer Jones in 1949. For her role in The Song of Bernadette (1943), she won an Oscar as best actress. Between the years 1946 and 1948, she consolidated her fame as either the innocent adolescent or the passionate lover: e.g. in Cluny Brown (1946), Duel in the Sun (1946) or Portrait of Jennie (1948)." 09-09

  21. -01-05-10 Google Reveals Nexus One (Techland.com)
      "On the hardware front, the Nexus One has an aluminum unibody-like frame. The 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is blazingly fast. The AMOLED screen should conserve battery power, but it's too soon to say. The key factor with the Nexus One's screen is its width. All other Android devices including the Droid have a narrow screen, which, in turn, gives users a cramped keyboard in portrait view. I would have preferred to see HTC's Sense keyboard rather than the generic Android keyboard, though." 01-10
