...week before, Colgate's quarterback Ryan Vena led his team to a win over Harvard by directing his offense on a game-winning 69-yard drive--most of those yards coming through the air--in the final two minutes. The drive culminated in a game-winning 33-yard field goal...
...because we have stood on the shoulders of giants, but Douglas Coupland decided to step on the giants' toes and give them a swift kick to the crotch when he came out with his novel Generation X only a year after yuppie whining manifesto thirtysomething went off the air.

They lived in different cities, never saw each other, and Michael pretty much had full custody. And rumor has it that he's obsessed with the air his children breathe--literally. He has his servants check it for germs regularly and any toys which the children touch are promptly disposed of...And finally, as I was walking down Mt. Auburn Street yesterday, I saw a plastic bag floating in the wind. It spun in the air, inflated and deflated...
