...have constructed the score as Yentl's running Talmudic commentary on the genesis of her womanly desires. (That's why Patinkin doesn't sing.)

The other was wove paper, in which the fibers...
While NIH officials recognized that "no system of procedures and controls can offer absolute protection against willful deceit," they criticized Kloner and Braunwald for not paying close enough attention to researchers under their supervision. Though Braunwald strongly denied the charge, the report maintained that "a hurried pace and emphasis on productivity, coupled with limited interaction with senior scientists, have contributed to the disappointing events...
