...holiday meals. The food is unreformed, archaic, predictable -- mashed potatoes and gravy, overcooked veggies, huge slabs of pie. It's democratic, if not downright egalitarian -- meaning pretty much the same collection of foodstuffs whether you dine in a mansion or a soup kitchen. We can give thanks, with a chorus of satisfied belches, that the food is for once meant just to be filling, and that the only entertainment we're likely to find at the table is the people who are seated around...

Wrapping one's arm around someone, and clasping hands, is like praying," or "Resign one's self...
...parties recognize that there's no use continuing the kind of carnage that's going on there at the present time." Panetta speaks as if all the parties were equal, as if the victim were as responsible for the war as the aggressor. Defense Secretary William Perry joined the chorus, saying that the Serbs had already won--this only a week after the Bosnian force gained ground. Seeing the American turnabout, negotiators are now revising peace proposals to ward the Serbs even more land. After all, with the U.S. now on the side of appeasement rather than the side...
