HOWARD ZINN, NOAM CHOMSKY, AND NOW... MICHEL T. KLARE. "BLOOD AND OIL," joins the ranks of these two heroes. NEO, BE CAREFUL WHICH OF THE TWO PILLS YOU TAKE. YOU CAN'T GO BACK. The world's rapidly growing economy is dependent on oil, the supply is running out and the U.S. and other great powers are engaged in an escalating game of brinkmanship to secure its continued free flow. Such is the premise of Klare's powerful and brilliant new book.

Part I Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943): Piano Concerto No. 2, Op. 18 (1900-1901) 1. Moderato Walter Gieseking, piano Concertgebouw Orchestra Willem Mengelberg, conductor Live recording, 1940. "This is one of those collaborations where each partner goads the other to even greater acts of musical brinkmanship: listen to Giesekings hair-raising entry in the finale. The result is mesmerising: each melodic swell, each harmonic twist, and each rhythmic tease - and there are plenty, as the piece is delivered here - is played with such commitment that you're not simply drawn in, but nearly sucked up by the music ... one of the most compelling recordings ever made of this overrecorded, if usually underplayed music." Peter J. Rabinowitz "A particularly inspired moment in this grandiose, titanic performance with its big-line phrasing, marvellous speed and transparency, is the slow movement's unison melody for which Gieseking uses an extremely intense tone, achieving great depth of feeling and lyrical outpouring." Dean Elder

Leon Haywood has had an enormous and varied career, but this one song, "Baby Reconsider", has earned its place in history for being the very first record to turn the Mod Soul scene in the North of England in the late 1960s, into a Rare Soul scene, which became known as Northern Soul. This record, on the Fat Fish label, with its classic sixties Motown sound, and its throaty Marvin Gaye type vocal, was so rare and so prized, that people would travel 200 miles on a Saturday night in 1969 and 1970, to the Twisted Wheel in Manchester, just to hear it. Thus the brinkmanship of rare soul and valuable records was born. And of course, when I embarked upon the epic journey of making The Strange World Of Northern Soul DVD set, I just HAD to re-record it, and have Leon filmed. Soul/funk journeyman Leon Haywood periodically dented the charts in the 1970s with hits that tapped into the grooves and musical hooks of the day's trends. An accomplished songwriter and arranger, Haywood never pretended to be an innovator, and his hits are cheerful derivations of '70s midtempo funk and romantic ballads, usually embellished by smooth string charts. His best material recalled the late-'60s/early-'70s Motown sound; on the slower material in particular, his vocals bore a resemblance to those of Marvin Gaye. Haywood's roots extend way further back than the '70s; he toured and recorded with R&B saxophonist Big Jay McNeely's band (which also backed Sam Cooke on the road) in the early '60s. In the mid-'60s, he had his first chart entry with "She's with Her Other Love" on Imperial. In 1967, he had a solid R&B hit (and small pop one) with "It's Got to Be Mellow," whose commercial soul sound betrayed his Motown influence. He didn't come into his own as a solo artist until the mid-'70s, when he had big R&B hits with "Strokin'," "Come and Get Yourself Some," and "Keep It in the Family." His biggest single, "I Want'A Do Something Freaky to You" (with orgasmic female gasps and moans that made it pretty clear what "freaky" really meant), crossed over to the Top Twenty pop listings. The discoish "Don't Push It Don't Force It" was his biggest splash, making #2 R&B in 1980. After the mid-'80s, he eased out of the record business into business ventures; in the 1990s, he produced blues albums by Jimmy McCracklin and others on his own EveJim label. But we will always love him best for this one wonderful song.

With 40 days to go until election day, the fast-moving global financial crisis has transformed the White House race into a daring duel of political brinkmanship for John McCain and Barack Obama -- and President George W. Bush. An interview with a specialist on American politics.

Ministers from 35 key nations began a critical round of talks in Geneva on Monday. The Doha Development round of negotiations has been deadlocked as developed and developing countries show brinkmanship over concessions on issues such as agricultural subsidies.

Pure Painting #8 : The Funky Snowmen- The Second Annual Holiday Painting. Using varied techniques and materials these brinkmanship artists create an endearing image of two Snowmen sharing a bit of Holiday Cheer. Techniques explored include: Incredible Hulk skin tones,Employment of aluminunum foil to create a Holiday atmosphere, and The use of Christmas lights as a compositional anchor.

If you enjoy dogs, you might enjoy this. If you enjoy samurai, you might enjoy this. If you enjoy Against Me!, you might enjoy this. None of this matters compared to the brinkmanship carried out by the human race with its own existence.

In the summer of 2006, WRF began production on "The Art of Brinkmanship", a comedy written by Ryan Patch during his first year at NYU. It was to star Kathy Lisk and Eric Olsen, with Danny Askew assistant producing and photographing. Unfortunately, due to the time and budget demands of a feature film, production was aborted a day before pricipal photography was to begin. All that is left of the production is this test footage, shot at auditions and testing out various camera rigs. Aspect ratio and sound off because of youtube- sorry.

Contains strong language. As Graham Goring, the subject of the video puts it: Due to a round of stupid boasting and brinkmanship I maintained that I could eat 11 twix fingers (multipack size) in 60 seconds. As you can see, I don't even get close. But on the bright side this video makes a lovely work-safe alternative for scat-fans.

Brinkmanship that most girls have heard at least once - not so elegantly done, however - and this was written before 1600.
