...fatigue - or more precisely, what the fatigue represents. A feeling of exhaustion is often a stand-in for anxiety. Most students - particularly comparatively high achievers who have already gotten into college - learn to use the stress that accompanies a test as a prod to action and concentration. The experts call the phenomenon "achievement motivation," or a kind of competitive energy spurt...
...visited a distillery in Kentucky called Buffalo Trace, which takes a rather unique style to making whiskey. Buffalo Trace has what they call an "experimental" line, and what they do is they try a little bit of everything to see what kind of taste variations they can get. They do all sorts of things there, they use rice in their mash, they use different ages, different kinds of barrels. The one I had was aged in a cabernet cask. There are a great many people who love whiskey who take themselves very seriously. And the ironic part of that...
...those kinds of calls may come in a lot more handy than big-name endorsements from out of state.

Even if they manage to, choosing a second successive unelected Prime Minister would make an immediate general election almost inevitable. - Adam Smith / London
