“... on their last conversation: ‘I said how my own character seemed to cut out a shape like a shadow in front of me ... she thought this was bad: one ought to merge into things.’ Trace this merging back to the dynamics of the family (everything, Lee remarks, can be traced back to the family beginnings), and a question emerges. What exactly is a ...”

“... is the most important basis of his support. To relative prosperity, Putin has added stability. Cabinet convulsions, confrontations with the legislature, lapses into presidential stupor, are things of the past. Administration may not be that much more efficient, but order – at least north of the Caucasus – has been restored. Last but not least, the ...”

“... where she suspected adult remains might lie. I looked at the ground and I could believe it; the shadow of vegetation that grew more lush formed an oblong, seven feet by five. This was beyond the little plot where locals say babies from the town’s Mother and Baby Home were buried. A small grotto in the corner is tended by the residents of the housing ...”

“... the highest walls for a hundred miles. Rising above the parapet, a concrete fortress casts its shadow over the soldiers outside. A taxi driver says: ‘That? That is the new US Embassy.’ ‘ATTENTION,’ a vast billboard declares. ‘The US Embassy would be grateful if any of our friends who have information on terrorist activity or threat information to ...”

“... in smearing him again in 1914, when he lost two by-elections (one after being appointed to the cabinet). The New Witness crowed that Masterman, as the lackey of ‘Lloyd George … the Jews and their hangers-on’, should have been ‘excluded not merely from Parliament but from the society of decent honourable men’.If Belloc was motivated by rancour at ...”

“... arms and put him in a cage with paedophiles.’ Advisers to the president and members of his cabinet have been mobbed and jeered, denied service in restaurants, and harassed at home; and more such actions have been urged by the woke contingent of the Democratic Party. Representative Maxine Waters advised protesters to ‘create a crowd’ and physically ...”

“... is called for, and from this feeling is bred dissatisfaction, headaches, wakefulness, the whole cabinet of neurotic symptoms. With Lily in my play The Insurance Man I have assumed that such a case did occasionally get as far as the Workers Accident Insurance Institute. If so, then here was one more hopeless quest going on round the corridors of that unhappy ...”

“... Wahhabist theology, it received 8 per cent of the vote in the 2009 elections and joined SBY’s cabinet. Its support base is the consumerist middle class: people uprooted from traditional forms of Islam. At the 2011 national convention of the PKS at the Sheraton Hotel in Yogyakarta there were as many baseball caps as pamphlets by Hassan al-Banna, the ...”

“... had an amitié douce for life. Sometime in the late 1870s they posed for a goofy, mildly raunchy cabinet card photo in which Abbéma is dressed as an Ottoman pasha and Bernhardt, in the diaphanous costume of an Ingres odalisque, lies at her feet, mooning up at her lasciviously. So Draw Your Own Conclusions. Not that any of this bisexual coupling, one might ...”

“... he had met at the Harvard Business School Library, and later married. Netanyahu remained in the shadow of Yoni, the favoured son: he was entrusted with overseeing the publication of his brother’s letters and setting up a think tank in his name. Menachem Begin’s election in 1977, which brought Likud to power and heralded a major realignment in Israeli ...”

“... ended inches above her knees. The Cleopatra lines drawn heavily around her eyes, and the purply shadow, made her eyes seem smaller, not larger, as if they were deliberately hiding. She had pierced ears now, gold hoops swinging from them. I hadn’t known what to say to her. I saw her look at me with some surprise as well. I tried to be bold and ...”

“... in particular on the look’s trajectory, its slight downward tilt, and the fact of its being in shadow, thanks to the un-discarded helmet. Naturally Veronese has given the look an explanation within the surface logic of the scene: Mars is looking past Venus at the child’s play on the floor. But one sees why Velázquez extracted the look and made it his ...”

“... sinking, with stories that look to past and future. What if the binoculars had not been left in a cabinet in Southampton; what if First Officer Murdoch had rammed the iceberg head on, not grazed it; what if the Californian had heard the distress signal; what if it had recognised the flares as signs of distress; what if it had recognised the Titanic as the ...”

“... There was a stand-off. Later it was revealed that Franco had convened a special meeting of his cabinet to discuss how to respond. Demonstrations in the city to support those locked inside the monastery were attacked by the police. Inside the monastery, the phones were cut off and the supply of water and food interrupted. Finally, the building, although ...”

“... Artelia, asking for ‘good costs’, best prices, to show the following day to the council’s cabinet member for housing, Rock Feilding-Mellen, and the council planner. It was alleged by the Times that this email provoked the decision to go for ‘using aluminium panels rather than zinc’, which ‘could mean a “saving of £293,368”’. But the ...”
