...surgeon removed the toenail and wrapped the toe up in gauze. For a while Evan had to wear handmade stylish footgear on his left foot—he attached a duct tape strap to his flip-flops because the layers of gauze made his foot too big to fit in anything else. Now he can wear normal shoes and play soccer using his left foot. The toenail is a little stub about a quarter of an inch wide, and “should be grown by January...
...despised every civilization that had not been subjugated by Rome, should be from the Caribbean. Naipaul is also one of the very few writers to have a whole, book-length cruise missile of a memoir fired at him by a fellow writer. In 1998 Paul Theroux, in a striking fit of Oedipal peevishness, published Sir Vidia's Shadow, painting his former friend and mentor as a self-obsessed, avaricious, pathologically snobbish brute.

It?s too bad the song was cut (although the song that replaced it was actually better and more inventive). Despite the fact that the song doesn?t fit today?s pro-cop public mood, "New York City Cops" still deserved to be heard, if only for the fact that it captures the endearing surliness of the city: New Yorkers, and New York City bands, can be tough on anybody. Bob Dylan proved as much on his song "Positively...
