...myself, was a poor gesture written in a tone that was simply not in good taste. The so-called “wide disparity between the two sets of masters’ performance” is simply a flagrant exaggeration. For example, contrary to the popular myth, the Kirshners ate regularly in the dining hall, hosted a plethora of events in the master’s residence, and were highly visible at many other House events. They always attended our formal events, and oversaw a number of positive changes to house life last year, including adding significantly to the house...
...Affluent families put on more elaborate wakes, building giant cylindrical tarpaulin tents in their gardens, where for three days visitors paid their condolences and ate hearty meals. The atmosphere was somber, punctuated by haunting lamentations performed by "adadas," or professional mourners: at a 2004 wake in Baghdad's Jihad neighborhood, I saw a group of old women in black abayas sing threnodies for four hours, egged on by an uncle of the deceased, who said, "Keep crying, I'll pay you more."

I wonder if there's enough left in the expense account for my editors to send me to the next restaurant on Apple's list...
...already planning on ordering some potato skins. To our surprise, however, when we finished, we were full, but not stuffed. And we ordered dessert and drinks--which is just what the financially ailing Friday's hopes you'll do, since it makes a higher profit on these items. We ate a little more than half of the big, goopy brownie sundae and instantly achieved that disgusting, bloated feeling I remembered loving Friday...
