Shrift was a collaboration between former Smoke City vocalist Nina Miranda and producer Dennis Wheatley.
 Their debut release, "Lost In A Moment", brought together acoustic and electronic soundscapes with Miranda's vocals, drawing comparisons with Portishead.
 "It's all swirling atmosphere, with fingerpicked guitars, glimmering string sections, Brazilian and synthetic percussion and gusty echoes around Ms. Miranda's limpid voice," wrote Jon Pareles in "The New York Times".

Missouri v. Seibert, 542 U.S. 600 (2004) , is a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that struck down the police practice of first obtaining an inadmissible confession without giving Miranda warnings, then issuing the warnings, and then obtaining a second confession.
 Justice David Souter announced the judgment of the Court and wrote for a plurality of four justices that the second confession was admissible only if the intermediate "Miranda" warnings were "effective enough to accomplish their object."
 Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in a concurring opinion that the second confession should be inadmissible only if "the two-step interrogation technique was used in a calculated way to undermine the "Miranda" warning."

 According to Hoffenberg, Terry Southern and I wrote "Candy" for the money.
 Olympia Press, $500 flat.
 He was in Switzerland, I was in Paris.
 We did it in letters.
 But when it got to be a big deal in the States, everybody was taking it seriously.
 Do you remember what kind of shit people were saying?
 One guy wrote a review about how "Candy" was a satire on "Candide".
 So right away I went back and reread Voltaire to see if he was right.

 It's as if you vomit in the gutter and everybody starts saying it's the greatest new art form, so you go back to see it, and, by God, you have to agree.
