...balloons in the hunters' blaze orange that was his campaign trademark, never got started. It was in a vast space, with no toes tapping to the toe-tapping country music. Across Fifth Street, Democrats roared as each update about the race was flashed on the Richmond stations' ticker running beneath prime-time entertainment programming projected on a pair of giant screens. The contrast was astounding from 24 hours earlier when more than 4,000 whoopin' and hollerin' Republicans jammed into a hangar for an hour-long drop-in by President Bush, who took ownership of the outcome of Kilgore...
...asset, but one of the institution’s most notable weaknesses. In Cambridge, I no longer wake to the chirping of birds. Their songs have been replaced by the Harvard shuttle’s boorish droning. The shuttle, like a persistent suitor, returns to its place beneath my Mather window every ten minutes from eight in the morning until four in the afternoon, offering up its garbled, biodiesel-tainted entreaties and refusing to take no for an answer.

...read and write” to understand that fundamental nature of man. R’s most recent opus, the 12-chapter “Trapped In the Closet” series, challenged fans more than ever with its absurd soap opera plotline. Many people dismissed the experiment, which beneath the surface is a profound meditation on sexuality and fidelity in the 21st century. But I kept listening, and Kelz broadened my horizons once again. He opened up my closet door, moved aside the skeletons and Air Force Ones, and made me look into the deepest corners to remember...
