"So we'll do the best we can, pass it on the floor and fix it in (House-Senate) conference...
Ambush is no more than a straight (and twisty) demolition derby, but Lee's Chosen, about the little Buddha, has a burlier and jollier tone than his features.

Now Americans are fast joining "drum circles," informally or through organized centers, to reduce stress, connect with others or just jam. A recent study in the journal Alternative Therapies even found an increase in disease-fighting cells among participants in drum circles...
