...hurricane took that sudden turn. The bad weather started pounding us Tuesday night. Waves were completely covering the boat, and we were pitching 46[degrees]. By early Wednesday, it started getting really bad. We were in seas of 45-to-55-plus ft., much bigger than anything I'd ever seen. We began getting into real trouble about 3 in the morning, when we started taking on water at the rudder assembly faster than our pumps could keep...
...PICKING Getting rid of lice from your kids' hair may be more difficult than ever. A report that looked at two cities, Boston and Boise, Idaho, shows that the pesky six-legged parasites are increasingly resistant to permethrin, the active ingredient in Nix, a popular over-the-counter remedy.

And ever since reading a tome called Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, he's got a little weird about progress. He doesn't use the Internet or watch TV, and he bikes and walks to most places. He has renounced most technology, except for some wings with speakers attached...
...consultants who can sand off the rough edges, buff the family values and come up with a pretested set of nostrums designed to calm the party activists in Iowa and New Hampshire. Follow the rules of the road--never brag, listen to your handlers, hope any controversial thing you ever wrote was pre-database, drop the idea that honesty is the best policy--and you might succeed. By these standards, Donald Trump will be the worst candidate in modern history. As the man once responsible for Georgia beauty Marla Maples' famous tabloid headline, BEST SEX I EVER HAD, Trump...
