...declares Author Stephen Vizinczey (In Praise of Older Women). "Trying to make love with someone who is as unskilled as you are seems to me about as sensible as learning to drive with a person who doesn't know the first thing about cars either." Besides, as Benjamin Franklin remarked in a letter urging a young friend to seek the companionship of older women, "They are so grateful...
Nina's singing and piano playing rank her with Aretha Franklin at the top of the female jazz, blues and soul camp. On piano, she can tinkle along simply like Count Basic or pile chord upon chord like Rubinstein playing Tchaikovsky. At times, her voice has the reedy wobble of a Dixieland clarinet, but it can also whisper, wail, or break in above the instrumental accompaniment like an Indian shehnai. As Ray Charles notes, nobody ever comes close to imitating her, or even trying, "probably because everybody knows she's the only...
People who spring from bed clear-eyed and cheerful tend to think the early bird really does catch the worm. Slugabeds grumble that the sunny risers are worms themselves.

Lets get rid of the fascist-pig-warmongers, let George worry about National Security, and give attention to something serious, like parietals...
Schaefer's statistics show that one-sixth of the nation is ill-fed-a definite improvement over Franklin D. Roosevelt's "one-third of a nation," but appalling nonetheless. One of every three children under six in Schaefer's sampling is anemic and 3.5% are physically stunted, a condition often accompanied by mental retardation. Among those ten or older, 96% have an average of ten missing, filled or decayed teeth. Particularly disquieting was the resurgence of diseases that were thought to have been wiped out. Among them...
