...outbursts: "It were eff this and ess that and she would blow their adjectival brains out." Ned's bursts of poetry are suitable for all ages: "At night every river has a secret twin a ghost of air washing above the living water down towards the sea." Or "A fright of blood red parrots flared & swept through the khaki forest." Ned apologizes for his unconventional style, saying, "I never learned my parsing." His readers will acquit him of that charge...
...will she be ignored. In the pilot, she makes a big entrance--as if she's capable of any other kind--hyperventilating with stage fright before a show. "The biggest names in Hollywood, with their knives drawn!" she wails. "What if they hate me? They're gonna hate me!" She moans, she wheedles, she feigns deafness--then takes the stage and belts out Midler's signature song, Friends.

Here's how it would work if, for example, Pullman issued $100 million worth of King bonds. The money raised, minus commissions, would go directly to the fright master himself in the form of a loan.

Vinick is executive vice president of the California-based Ocean Futures, a nonprofit environmental organization headed by Jean-Michel Cousteau (son of Jacques) that has taken over the job of returning Keiko to the wild. Ocean Futures sees this as a "labor of the heart" but hopes it will also help raise public interest in marine issues. "The knowledge we are acquiring with...
...This revelry was the result of an atmosphere that successfully transcended college boundaries, everyday modesty, and good old-fashioned stage fright. The coffee house analogy didn't hold throughout the evening, as the reading was more about a shared intimacy of personal expression than the pretense so often associated with tall mochaccinos. Here were dozens of people listening intently on couches, on the floor, knitting, doodling, eyeing the crowd and copies of _The Harvard Advocate_. Inspired by the readers and listeners who had trekked multiple T stops and squished themselves together in a mid-sized common room, "Live Anthology" evoked...
