This arrangement seems to work efficiently for octopuses. In fact, the ghastly, slit-pupiled eyes of an octopus may even...
...Fall Down, by James Leo Herlihy. A fresh, Salingering tale of a hooky-playing 14-year-old and his off beatnik parents, whose foundering world finds focus in another brother as wild as his name: Berry-berry...
