...excuse of all this male togetherness is a learned paper and it is taken seriously at least by the speaker who is in position of producing up to snuff. Respectably enough drinks and copious eating usually precede the presentation nowadays. But in two of the clubs said to be modeled on English tradition high tea and all that the paper comes before the ultimate pleasure the business being out of the way to allow for serious matters. I discovered that one of these clubs came to this sensible design late in its annuals, when on one occasion the speaker, happily...
Kendall should have no trouble developing a Pepski generation in the Soviet Union. Russians already are copious gulpers of sweetened, carbonated fruit waters (common flavors: apple and cherry). In addition, they like a thirst quencher called kvass, which is made from dark bread and has about the same color as Pepsi-but tastes nothing like it at all. Aside from whatever profits PepsiCo makes on the deal, it may carry one other happy benefit. The droves of U.S. businessmen going to Moscow may be able to sip something during their negotiations other than the ever-present mineral water...
Thus for Didion the beach, the desert, the freeways and the plastic extravagances of architecture were metaphors. For Director Perry they are just locations. Shorn of image, the story is a poor and predictable thing. Moreover, dialogue like "She has these very copious menstruations" and "That lemon is not artificial.

...they wrote them! With varying literary distinction, indeed with all the ornamental vices of the time, yet often with attractive energy and at copious length, they wrote to each other monthly, weekly, sometimes daily, for nearly 20 years. What was more unusual, the Jones family saved the letters, all 6,000 of them, 4,000,000 words or more. English Professor Robert Manson Myers selected 1,200, made minor cuts, and knitted the skeins of reply and re-reply into an almost continuous narrative, mostly without intext notes or bridges. Then, in 17 years of fanatic industry, he added...
...Metaphysics aside, just how dirty is money? Filthy indeed, according to a report by two doctors at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. Writing in the A.M.A. Journal, Drs. Berel Abrams and Norton Waterman report that money carries copious quantities of potentially harmful bacteria. They base their conclusion on analysis of 150 coins worth $13.47 and 50 bills totaling $150. The coins were relatively clean; only 13.3% yielded common bacteria like Staphylococcus. But 42% of the bills carried that type as well as Escherichia coli. To avoid contamination by cash, the Louisville researchers suggest that people...
