...Recently, I was asked by one of my daughters if I believed in angels. Her second-grade Sunday school teacher had included in her lesson plan a description of seraphim and cherubim and touched on the topics of archangels and fallen angels, and this had left her in quite a muddle. Her question would leave many doctors, myself included, in a muddle as well. Doctors are trained in science, where the truth is defined by tangible proof, not blind faith. But science hasn't proven that angels exist or don't exist. And at least a few times...
This is not to say that Paglia’s essays don’t contain important and novel insights. She notes the subtle interplay of themes and images between different poems, and seamlessly integrates historical context and contemporary allusion. Her discussion of the fallen tyrant in Shelley’s “Ozymandias,” for instance, touches on the resonance of the poem in post-Napoleonic Europe, as well as noting that “modern readers may find the clarity of conception and execution of ‘Ozymandias’ especially compelling because Shelley?...
...Nevertheless, Lions skipper Brett Boretti stormed onto the field and conducted a lengthy tete a tete with the umps. In point of fact, he was contending that Kramer popped up on his slide, leading to the leg damage.

...team that has often fallen just short in crucial situations delivered in all the clutch moments yesterday, sweeping a rescheduled doubleheader with Columbia (18-17-1, 1-3). After rain left conditions unplayable at Baker Field on Saturday, the Crimson instead opened its Ivy slate at Cornell, but the return to New York City was a happy one for Harvard (13-14, 2-2). The sweep, by scores of 2-1 and 1-0, moves the Crimson to a third-place tie behind league leader Princeton...
...Years before, Dr. Stinchfield had fallen off a horse, and over time his back injury and complications from surgeries left him in constant pain, barely able to get out of bed. At the time, I had to sleep in the hospital every fourth night, so it was fun to visit "the Boss" in his hospital room; the one bit of New York he seemed to have picked up was staying up late. We talked about the old operations he did, field hospitals he set up during the war, the famous orthopedists he knew (He knew them all). We also talked...
