...bright side, so to speak, of grave injury, discomfort and nearness to death is that you emerge with a clear fix on what the heart treasures. Mostly I didn't learn anything new but had the satisfaction of having my hunches confirmed. I emerged knowing that, as I had always suspected, the time I spend with my wife and boys is all that matters in the end. I emerged as a practicing Jew. (Admittedly, I had always been one.) In the "miscellaneous" department, I emerged with great admiration for Senator Dole, whose battlefield injuries were a little like mine...
...assume that the student staffers behind the reserves desk each earn $7.50 per hour and the adult book checker takes home $15 per hour, figures which are safely on the high side. If we increase wages to $10 and $17.50, respectively, for work during the grave-yard shift, there is an hourly burden of $37.50. This amounts to a weekly cost of roughly $2,600 for the additional hours needed to keep Lamont open 24-7. The whole college year can be had for less than...
There is more comedy in "Young Poisoner," black comedy, which is its true intention. But the black comedy here is not even close to that of "Pulp Fiction" and "Shallow Grave."

While the U.S. acknowledges that the island is part of China, it is also pledged to view an attack on it with "grave concern"--a purposely ambiguous statement that not only angers America's containment advocates but also frustrates Beijing. When Chinese officials felt out Nye in late 1995 about a U.S. reaction if China were to threaten Taiwan, he told them, "Nobody knows." In a later interview with TIME, he elaborated, saying, "There's less ambiguity here than meets the eye. But we don't want either side to rock the boat. We don't want Taiwan to declare...
...scissors. Mel Gibson, director and star of Braveheart, praises editor Rosenblum for his "story sense," which allowed them to cut entire chunks without losing the flow. One cut: a long sequence in which the hero catches wind of a British ambush planned to take place at his wife's grave. Gibson has a graphic metaphor for experienced editors: "They're like great surgeons, able to make the right kind of adjustments in places that most of us wouldn't look for. They get into that room with a pair of scissors, cut the cancer out, slap it back together...
