...friend and I recently walked through Harvard Square carrying a large stuffed dog named Schwarz. We anticipated looks, stares and perhaps even insults as we embarked on our peculiar social experiment; however, we witnessed some interesting reactions. Large stuffed animals like Schwarz, we concluded, truly bring out the child in all of us. From the policeman who gave us a sly but heartwarming smile to the garrulous waitress who, after one adoring look, recalled fond childhood memories of the dog’s namesake, we realized that FAO Schwarz wasn’t just any toy store?...
...There was one commercial where a dog bit a man in his crotch. Another one in which we observed a horse farting in someone's face. Then we had the act where the entertainer cut up an American flag and used it for his stage costume. I'm not saying that this was the time to do something like this, but come on.

There was typical kids'-show fun, with a panoply of pals that included the Banana Man, Dancing Bear, and Tom Terrific with his sidekick Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog.

The Clark campaign also boasts the only volunteer dog, an underfed beagle named Truman. The future lobbyists are at John Kerry's headquarters, where things hum along like a '90s Internet start-up run by well-dressed New Republic readers. The sweet-natured, churchgoing college interns at the Richard Gephardt campaign are far outnumbered by the brawny volunteer ironworkers. Joe Lieberman's nerdy, beleaguered staff, which is the best-liked in town, works...
...move the White House probably saw as an election-year head snapper, President George W. Bush sketched out a long-term vision for manned spaceflight that goes far beyond the dog paddling in near-Earth orbit to which the space agency has confined itself since the 1970s. Back on the table is human exploration of the moon; back on the table is human exploration of Mars. Swept to the floor--or at least to the side--is the overbudget, underproducing International Space Station and the increasingly creaky, increasingly lethal shuttle fleet...
