Deng relaxes by swimming and indulging his passion for bridge. He and his wife hold a regular Saturday game at their home in the Western Hills area of Peking, usually with Vice Premier Wan Li and Party General Secretary Hu Yaobang. Deng has a fondness for pomelos, a grapefruit-like citrus fruit grown in Sichuan, and he sometimes places special orders for them. He is also a world-class smoker, lighting one Panda-brand cigarette after another in his meetings and audiences. Deng recently declared to former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, "Mine is a hands-off policy...
...major leaguer, but they come tolerably close. Last week, for the first time in the long memory of baseball, a father and son played together in a big-league game. The sport has had a rich run of sequels: Boones, Berras and Bells. But not even in a Grapefruit season had two generations ever come to the same stage at the same instant, until Brian singled and stole second in the first inning and Hal followed with a walk. Pausing only for the usual sidelong glance of teammates on base, they both went on to score...
...poem was called "Ode to Grapefruit." It no longer exists, even in my memory. But I do remember that the last line was written in the cadence of Hiawatha, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: "and-my-bel-ly-full-of-grape-fruit."

Even if the island-dwarfing process did indeed shrink H. floresiensis, says Robert Martin, curator at the Field Museum in Chicago and author of a widely cited textbook on human evolution, the grapefruit size of the brain is too small. "Brains do not shrink proportionally to bodies in a species but remain relatively large," says Martin. "That's why the heads of small dogs, for example, are proportionally large for their bodies compared with larger dogs. To get a brain this size, H. erectus...
Dogfish Head 60-Minute IPA: IPAs, or India Pale Ales, are the hoppiest, sharpest tasting beers around. This one tops them all. Smelling of grapefruit and citrus, the 60-Minute hits you with a smoky, bitter hop flavor that lingers long after you sip it. Carbonation is light, and the taste is smooth. Drinkable, satisfying, and at six percent alcohol by volume more accessible than its brother, the 90-Minute (nine percent alcohol), Dogfish Head 60-Minute IPA would be a fabulous introduction to better beer for Loker-goers...
