...poet-genius T. S. Eliot, had left her, years in which she had stubbornly refused to believe the truth that he despised her and would never return...

...Alan Greenspan was the superego of the '90s economy, Cramer was surely its libido. This memoir hopscotches between his trademark hyperbole and a peculiar form of self-abnegation (he never seems happier than when flagellating himself).

This entails a number of rather complex processes and experiments involving cloth that holds words, water that absorbs experience and oral communication (what little there is of it) with an emphasis on vowels over consonants. Marcus describes elaborate devices designed...
...learned just last semester. What sticks are our experiences with other people—in organizations, on teams, in friendships and in relationships. That, and not how we perform in sophomore tutorial, is what we will remember when we graduate. Our extra-curriculars are so much of a better account of our selves than our classes are that, stepping back, it seems odd that anyone would attempt to define so much of our character by sheer academic performance. What, exactly, can you tell about a person with a 15.0 GPA? That they have a strong work ethic and an uncanny...
