...that ended our season last year. I thought we were really patient, and we were taking pitches, getting deep in the count. I knew if we got in the bullpen, we had a shot.” As for the weather, the frigid climate did not seem to bother Haviland, who pitched in short sleeves. “I was hoping it was going to be colder actually,” Haviland said. “I love the cold. You can throw inside a little more, because if you get jammed, you’re done...
...recently argued, “The government can’t sell power and influence it doesn’t have.” If the federal trough were smaller, fewer special interest snouts could gorge themselves at the taxpayers expense, and therefore the pigs wouldn’t bother to buy influence.

For more than two decades they'd been able to record brain activity in sleep, but the feeling was, why bother? Why waste reams of costly graph paper making electroencephalogram recordings of what was thought to be a neurological desert? With no strong expectation of finding otherwise, University of Chicago researchers Eugene Aserinski and Nathaniel Kleitman decided it was worth doing, monitoring 10 subjects in a laboratory.

No, such...
...gleaming white village that envelops it, fuses local tradition with a modern and international sensibility. Gaucín is developing into a new Deia or Fornalutx: a magnet, just like those Mallorcan hot spots, for affluent north European bohemians who want to immerse themselves in Spanish culture without the bother of learning Spanish. The Casablanca perfectly serves that constituency, but also appeals to a wider clientele...
