Really interesting, darkly amusing and sharply written, The Yiddish Policemen's Union asks what would have happened if a plan proposed to Roosevelt in 1939 had been accepted: if millions of Jewish people...it would have benefited from a little pruning and a lot more subtlety.

This is a sprawling epic of a book, and one which I thought shared some of the flaws and the virtues of the comics with which it was so concerned: Chabon is capable of creating beautifully described, vivid... though...

After all that waiting, I finally got my iPhone. I waited until my 2 year contract with Sprint expired, and so now here I am starting fresh with a 2 year contract with AT&T. I got the 16 GB white phone...as well. Google certainly has the ability to define words by typing in "define" then a colon and then the word you would want defined.
