...have screenings at the same time. One of the professors lets you watch the videos at home, but it’s just not the same as seeing them in theaters, you know? 12) Your TF speaks with an impenetrable Peruvian accent, which you can understand, and uses West Coast slang, which you cannot. 13) Based on a few suspicious comments and the fact that he wrestled a bear in the middle of lecture, you begin to suspect that your Professor Manny A. “A-Plus” Harvfield is Harvey C. “C-Minus?...

Three-quarters of the Jewish population and all of Israel...
Glamorous as these homes are, they constitute considerably less than conspicuous consumption for a man of Simon's income. And he lives in them about as modestly as circumstances permit. He has a secretary-factotum on each coast and some domestic help. But he dresses simply, entertains infrequently and does not spend his life being waited on: he often answers his own telephone, greets people at the door, takes their coats and fetches their drinks. He husbands his money for his family, and has grown more cautious over the years. He invested the first $75,000 from Come Blow Your...
