...then went and set the fire. This seems a different category of prophecy than that people usually evince pride in. The use of sociobiology by the European New Right is the direct result of and responsibility of Science for the People and others who have misrepresented this diverse and complex field. Science for the People has used every sort of distortion and misrepresentation to make what is in fact an arbitrary and manufactured connection between sociobiology and reactionary political idology appear to be a logical and necessary one, and then has widely publicized such fabrications. It is little wonder that...
Allen's private life is a taboo, reserved for the absent analyst, though the films are about him and intend us to imagine his complex 'interiority.' He's quite unable to imagine other people fully, as sufferers through the unspeakable Interiors will know. In Manhattan, though, he winningly has his ex-wife write about his obsessive narcissism, and the end of that film seems to me truer than anything he's done yet.

...came up for renewal that led steel customers to buy still more imports to hedge their supplies. But when steel imports rose from a 13.4% share of the domestic market in 1975 to 17.7% in 1977, the Carter Administration imposed minimum or "trigger" prices for imports based on a complex formula.

But with the yen weakening almost 23% against the dollar this year, the Japanese are becoming even more competitive...
...normal erection results from a complex interaction of forces. Mental or physical stimulation sets off a series of nervous reflexes that increase blood flow to the penis. As the blood fills the corpora cavernosa, two rod-shaped bundles of spongy tissue running the length of the organ, the penis expands, becoming hard and erect. But the sexual response is fragile; it can easily be disrupted by emotional or physical problems (some, like an excess of alcohol, temporary...
...something less than a true invented language. Linguists Meier and Newport now call Gracie and Ginny's speech "deformed English." What had seemed to be a vocabulary of hundreds of new words, when slowed down and analyzed on tape recordings proved to be about 50 complex mispronounced words and phrases jammed together and said at high speed. There was also "substantial variation" every time the twins talked. Phonetic transcripts initially brought run-together phrases like "pink-telephone" and "let's-go-marketing" to the surface, and they finally traced most of Ginny and Gracie's speech...
