...laughing when she came back with two slices of steamed white bread and a dish of green custard that precisely matched the color of the plate. Bizarre though it was, the dish was the best part of the meal. Who knew that Wonderbread would be such a great foil to the milky-rich coconut custard? With four people ordering appetizers and entrees and drinking water (Shabu Square doesn’t serve alcohol), the bill came to a modest $63, including tax and tip, so things could have been worse.We all scrambled out of our booths and out into...
...Though some imagine she can become a champion of liberal causes in the Senate, much as Edward Kennedy did after his defeat in the 1980 Democratic primary, that model may not fit. Kennedy by 1981 had nearly 20 years of seniority in the Senate, and he had an ideal foil in Ronald Reagan.

Fellow junior and 2007 All-American Misha Goldfeder will join the team in the spring when she returns from studying aboard.Last year the epee was the Crimson’s weakest link, but this year the squad looks...
...make this a guitar-dominated album. It's not just that it's the warmest instrument in rock, country and blues (Williams' favorite playgrounds) but that Doug Pettibone is the best unknown guitarist in all three. On song after song, Pettibone's six-string acts as Williams' adoring foil, flirting with her between the lyrics on "Circles and Xs," replying with great gusts of seduction on "Knowing." On the album-ending AC/DC cover, they just roll around and laugh. It's exactly the kind of thing you'd play at a wedding...
