But the Getty will always remain a touchstone for me. Anytime I feel depressed, all I have to do is go to the Getty, and I get undepressed...
...Robert Baden-Powell, the British military hero who founded the Boy Scouts, had an intense interest in teenage boys and their bodies. This interest expressed itself with a forthright innocence that to our post-Freudian sensibilities seems to have pretty clear sexual overtones.

Yet De Castro doesn't use the past as a crutch. His originals, such as the elegiac...
...reason is that Baden-Württemberg, whose capital is the car-making city of Stuttgart, is one of the most prosperous states in Germany, with an unemployment rate of only 5.2%, the country's lowest. The cdu's Teufel runs on this successful record, while Ute Vogt, the sdp leader, claims Teufel's 10 years as head of the state government has left him out of touch...
