Man of War

Fussell had written a guide to poetic form and an equally fine critical life of Samuel Johnson when, in 1975, he broke out as an intellectual celebrity with The Great War and Modern Memory, which won the National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award. The Great War tells the story of the destruction of the 19th century ?of its class system and its faith in progress; really, of any way of living predicated on a stable system of value ?by World War I. Out of the mass experience of pointless death, a new way of speaking and writing, devoid of euphemism, arose, a plain style we associate with Hemingway (?Abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene beside the concrete names of villages, the number of roads, the names of rivers, the number of regiments and dates?) but in England may just as easily evoke Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, Robert Graves, and Edmund Blunden ?writers who saw action in the Great Fuck-Up, as infantrymen soon called it, writers who, as a result of firsthand acquaintance with the trenches, sought a way of making literature without any recourse to elevated literary diction.

Superfund Year in Review: News for Insurance, Real Estate and ...

Federal courts placed a premium on up-to-date legal work in their 2011 Superfund decisions, as decisions turned increasingly on careful compliance with the latest pleading requirements and closer readings of the statutory language. By the same token, parties seeking to attack government settlements or government supervised clean-ups face even bigger obstacles than before, underlining the importance of cooperation with environmental authorities in addressing contaminated property issues. And the work on the BP Deepwater Horizon cleanup has resulted in a new approach to natural resource damages, which may serve as a model of how to start restoration work even before all the assessments have been finished.

Anyone working in the insurance, real estate or financing businesses, as well as those responsible for environmental cleanup work, should check the authoritative ABA review of the Superfund and natural resource damage developments in 2011. Our partner, Russ Randle, recently wrote the American Bar Association?s Year in Review Article about Superfund and Natural Resource Damages, which appeared in May, 2012. These decisions include...

Group: 3rd terror suspect abducted in Kenya

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) ? Rights officials are accusing the Kenyan government of running an official campaign to eliminate suspected terrorists following the disappearance of a terror suspect this week ? the third disappearance this year.

Lawyer Mbugua Mureithi said Friday that Sylvester Opiyo, the "usual suspect" in terrorism investigations, was abducted by armed men Wednesday after the car he was traveling in broke down in western Kenya.

Opiyo has been arrested several times following a series of grenade attacks that intensified after Kenya sent troops to Somalia in October. Two terror suspects were abducted by armed men last month. One was found dead two days later, mutilated. The other has not been found.

Police spokesman Eric Kiraithe says the allegations are unfounded.

After a "world record" of 132 million votes, America has crowned guitar-strumming sweetheart Phillip Phillips as season 11's "American Idol." And although most viewers and critics expected him to win it all, Phillips himself seemed shocked that America chose him.

When MTV News caught up with the 21-year-old Georgia native at a backstage press conference after the finale, he still seemed to be coming to terms with his recent win.

Q: How do you feel?

A: Uh, I'm feeling. I don't know. I don't really feel anything. It's crazy. I'm still a little numb from the whole situation. It's just so unreal.

Q: Did you think you were going to win?

A: Did I think I was going to win? No. Heck no. Did you see Jessica's last performance? Golly. She sang the crap out of that song.

Q: Is this surreal? Is this like a dream come true?

A: Man, it's so unreal. Like I said, it hasn't sunk in yet and it's just such a blessing to have and I'm kind of ready to try to comprehend it all.

Q: Can you talk about your health? Will you get any surgery?

A: Yeah, I'm gonna get some surgery done so I'm gonna get all better for the tour.

Q: How were you able to overcome the pain you must have been in to get through this season and get all the way to the end?

A: Yeah, it was very tough but I had great doctors and great people surrounding me so that really helped out. So, it's just a blessing to be here now.

Q: Can you talk about what happened onstage when you were performing "Home" tonight?

A: Yeah, I wasn't thinking about anything, not even the song. I wasn't really wanting to sing or anything. And I just started thinking about the whole journey, how far all of us had come and how far we had made it and it was just so overwhelming.

Q: When you auditioned did you think you would be standing where you are right now?

A: Honestly man, I didn't think I'd even make it to see the judges because, like I said, man, I have no shame in saying that I'm not a great singer. You know, I just love having fun up onstage jamming with the guys and just playing good music man. You know, I like getting the crowd into it. Music's fun dude. It's takes away a lot of things that's going around.

Q: Are you all cried out or do you think you might cry a little more?

A: I might end up crying some more. I hate crying but I'll probably cry some more. It feels good at times.
