...story is a hybrid: a loose retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's fable The Little Mermaid crossed with souvenirs from Miyazaki's youth. "We used to have tin toys that would float in the bath," he says, "and I thought it might be good to revitalize some old-fashioned toys like that. So I started thinking of a goldfish." The young fish, named Brunhild, is swimming with her sisters in Miyazaki's sea when she escapes this seeming paradise, floating up to the surface and getting her snout stuck in a jar. A 5-year-old boy on the shore...
...that said I Will Go To Harvard Someday, or Future Freshman: On My Way to Harvard, or something of that ilk. If you are a young future-legacy, an entire section of the COOP exists specifically to make your life miserable, with crimson baby booties and Harvard bath towels—even Harvard teddy bears. Your family dinners have been interrupted for years by Harvard students calling to ask for donations. When you were in eighth grade, you had to trek up to Cambridge for your mother’s 25th reunion. It rained the whole time...

Despite the best efforts of some Republicans to elicit a hot-tempered response, the Supreme Court nominee answered every question in the same deliberate, dulcet tones that seemed to lull her opposition into, if not complacency, then at least resignation. In between grilling her on abortion and reports of her tempestuous temperament...
...These were two middle-aged, conservative Republican men who had said, To hell with being part of the Cialis generation (midlife sexuality depicted as an aging husband and wife reclining in ... side-by-side bathtubs? What is the drugmaker worried about - that randy Pa might jump in Ma's bath and break her hip?). Their actions were so willful and blatantly self-centered that the two of them could have credibly fashioned themselves as rebels, possibly even as heroes, if they could have just stopped crying. They weren't a couple of tools stuck in sexless marriages and making...
