DWD: Boston, like most cities, has its mean streets, which have found their muse lately in Dennis Lehane and others. I'd guess similar can be said for other places: Loren Estleman's Detroit, Johnathan Valin's Cincinnati, Dashiell Hammett's and Raymond Chandler's California...

Here's the book:
Scott A. Boorman, "The Protracted Game: A Wei-Chi Interpretation of Maoist Revolutionary Strategy""
And yes, the game is really complex, but then what would you expect when you have pieces of equal weight (value) played on a 19 x 19 grid. Computing power has probably caught up withthe games complexity now, but in the mid-eighties, when Chessmaster on a PC could at least teach near master-level chess strategy, the best that could be done with AI an go was basied on electronic potentail algorithms. (Assuming I correctly remember what a couple of mathematicians and engineers threw back and forth at the Berkeley Go Club.
Boston is nice if you like people who don't have big teeth and carefully done hair and who keep their distance. I like it. I also like the architecture and the size and the fact that it's possible to cope without a car.
Not that enamored of the Big Dig or the local politics.

How likely is it that a woman who finally unfetters herself from one superstar then finds herself eclipsed by another?
And when historians trace how her inevitability dissolved, they will surely note this paradox: The first serious female candidate for president was rejected by voters drawn to the more feminine management style of her male rival.
The bullying and bellicosity of the Bush administration have left many Americans exhausted and yearning for a more nurturing and inclusive style.

Moot Court. Fuck.
I had to miss a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert at the OLD gym at UVa in 1974 (The Wild the Innocent and the E St Shuffle tour) because of fucking moot court. Not University Hall... the dingy old funky thing where they had all the cool shows.
I think I bagged just about every baggable thing during law school but I couldn't figure out how to get around that one.
Had some judge from one of the administrative agencies. God I was pissed that night.
Still have never seen Springsteen... that would have been the time to do it.
Any single woman being a lobbyist will be suspected of going to bed with a politician, whether she has or not.
1) McCain has a reputation as being a hound dog.
2) She looks exactly like McCain's wife.
3) His campaign staff in 2000 was worried about an "inappropriate" relationship.
I'm not sure it was a statement about her character, but more that it's very believable that McCain is sleeping around. I don't draw from this that it's an "all women are sluts" kind of thing.

Echidne
Echidne,
I am not even sure where to begin with that statement. On one level you are absolutely correct and that is sad. On several other levels there is room for "negotiation."
If the lovely Miss Iseman were not quite so lovely, would those in charge of hiring lobbyist be sure that she be put in that position?
If she were not so comely, would Senators and CongressMEN be anxious to be seen in her company?
If she were merely competent, would that be enough to succeed?
If she were just comely and profession, is that even enough? Or must she also be "available? (And honestly, I have no idea of the answer)
These things are not simple and should not be treated as such. When I see a woman who looks like a model in a position of influence, I tend to ask questions.
When I see a horny old goat with loose morals (read senator or congressMAN) I also tend to ask questions.
It is a quandary.
Nudge is as good as a wink.
Today, McCain's lawyer says the campaign got its facts about the meeting wrong, but insists the underlying point remains the same.
"He didn't do anything improper," McCain attorney Bob Bennett said. "Members of Congress all the time make calls to nudge action. Where it gets to be improper is when you start to weigh in too heavily as to what the action should be."
This is probably the stuff he recorded for Jewel in the mid-1960s...
But I have an acquaintance who works for a lobbyist on our side and she says her work is made very difficult by the assumption that she'd trade sexual favors.

So long as legislatures are 99 percent male there are going to be corporations who see a benefit in dangling attractive females out as lobbyists. Maine's legislature has one of the better gender ratios for state legislatures. The Maine Legislature long ago ceased being an "old boys club." And our State Treasurer for many years, Ms. Dale McCormick, is lesbian and a true spark plug.
