One half of her attention was for the flea-bitten mutt-cat that she held in her arms to "comfort." The other half was for me. "Idiot," she said. "You hurt a kitties tail...
...RELATIONS WITH BANGLADESH: "We are determined to recognize them provided there is machinery whereby we get our prisoners of war back. I released Sheik Mujibur Rahman hoping something like that would happen, but it went down the drain. We released the nightingale from the cage and nothing happened. Once bitten, twice shy.

...pulp. After careful investigation, the police established that there had been two murderers and identified them as brothers who lived in a neighboring apartment. The killers had dropped their victim repeatedly on the floor, struck him again and again with a woman's high-heeled shoe and bitten him several times. What was even more unusual, however, was the age of those involved in the case: the slayers were only five and two years old, and their victim was an eight-month-old infant...
