...Helix, but still contains considerable bite, considering Watson’s matter-of-fact refusal to sugar-coat his judgments. Even his good friend, Gamow, is described rather unflatteringly as possessing a “high-pitched squeal” which “did not go with his generous bulk.” The Biological Labs of Harvard “reeked of ’30s mustiness,” and Linus Pauling is “a popelike figure.” Watson evidently delights in gossip. He almost gleefully describes Peter Pauling’s predicament...
...side of our social-welfare system." According to Haarder, more than half of Denmark's 300,000 immigrants (out of a total population of 5.3 million) are unemployed and living on welfare.

Noticeably the generous examples of Holman's screwball "YOWSA!" of a strip tell you nearly as much as the essay's academic run-on. (Sample: "Holman's desultory recklessness as he periodically disassembled his characters and riddled his sets and his innocuous ruthlessness echo?" etc. etc.) Of the essays, Gregory Cwiklik's, "What...
...Phil Brownlee has received calls and letters from locals disgusted by the families' complaints, and he agrees. "It's just frustrating that the goodwill demonstrated by the government seems to be deteriorating," he says. "Now you've got families who are upset with what most Americans deem to be generous contributions. It's the loss of the spirit of Sept. 11, the souring of that sense of solidarity...
