...played football at Notre Dame, and then transferred to Boston College where he was captain," Clemente said. "The funny thing is that in my generation, none of us play football because we are all messed up. But basketball was fine with...
...jazz go? It's a music of all soul and no limits, but there are, at some times and in some hands, certain arbitrary restrictions. Free form is fine, but the more precise disciplines of melody and orchestration can lead to suspicions of musical conservatism, even retrogression.

Colds are considered incurable today because it would take months to come up with a vaccine for every new strain. That's fine for the flu, which breeds in animals and only jumps over to humans every year or two. But colds mutate even while they're infecting you, and new strains pop up so often that by the time drugmakers create a vaccine against one variation, the serum is already out of date...
