...their offense is the production of their “A” line. Jason Arnott, Petr Sykora and Elias absolutely skated circles around the Penguins in the Eastern Conference finals. Bourque and fellow Avalanche blueliner Adam Foote will go head-to-head with perhaps the finest line in all of hockey...
...between 9:00 and 10:00 when the clubs were just opening up, a steady stream of Nissan Cimas and Jaguar S-TYPEs pulled to the curbs in front of the six- and seven-story buildings housing the hostess bars to drop off foreign girls in their knocked-off finest. The girls, nearly always Caucasian and usually in their early 20s, insouciantly climbed out through doors held open by men who were always Japanese and usually twice their age.

This newest attempt to bring philosophy to the masses does not exactly do justice to our love for television’s finest program. The book is no doubt part of that weird trend that has produced books like The Tao of Pooh, which attempts to show us how Taoism can be relevant to our own modern and western existence, and The Consolations of Philosophy, a primer on how thinkers like Montaigne and Seneca...
