Every tale, whether it was a novella or a paragraph, was given what Thomas Mann called a "conscientious, curiously explicit, objective, clear and correct style." Kafka's pathological concern for style was so extreme that only a few tales were published in his lifetime. But the meticulousness that made him a dangling, indecisive figure in life produced modern myths in a prose like shards of glass. It was meant to be lucid, and it was intended to cut.

...looks good, but how about the reality? How much does the President actually know about the decisions he makes? Most reporters are kept at a distance, limited in their White House access.

By chance they have thousands of samples of blood, 1,500 of them from homosexuals now being...
...increasingly apparent that we can't do all the things that we're capable of doing," Dr. Howard H. Hiatt, dean of SPH, said yesterday.
