But it is not falling so much as tiptoeing in the dark. Once he kisses her slipper; later he unbuttons her glove and kisses her wrist, then her mouth, which opens more in anguish than in lust. Guilt is the barrier between their lips. And both could be underestimating sweet May; the child has a will and means...

The KGB removed every single bit of buggery. According to Kessler, the cost...

But it is not statistics that make people tuck the Mace into the glove compartment, or change their route home from work, or discover the virtues of carpooling, or prefer the risk of a ticket to stopping at red lights in a bad part of town.
