...think we can probably get Merv Griffin to throw something together, maybe some music and a little TV coverage. ESPN's Chris Berman, a Brown alum, can do the color commentary. Maybe there'll be a lightning round that rewards fast thinking, and bonus points for fresh "yo mama" takes, if any still exist...
...characters' struggles, both with an inflexible social system and their own weaknesses. With two earlier collections of stories and a novella, Ha Jin attracted notice as a guide to a world few outside China know. His first novel, which has been nominated for a National Book Award, makes local color intimately familiar...
While Harris' project may seem shallow, the idea of choosing an egg donor based on physical characteristics is hardly new. Several egg businesses already let clients select donors by race, weight, height, eye color or hair color, not to mention such preferences as "fine boned" and "tanning ability."

The last few days bespoke a lot of the latter. My recruiting station says MEPS (I still don't know what that stands for) has lost my FS-86, a meticulous accounting of my history and friends that took me weeks to complete. (I do a short version - the last three years - in 20 minutes.) My future base in Flushing tells me they haven't heard from my recruiter...
