...candidate Pierce has taken steps toward this goal, but needs support to continue alternative educational programs that will provide children with employment options for the future. "Not everyone is going to grow up to hold a professional or nine-to-five desk job," he explained...
...upperclass young woman who murders Marat in his bath, and Simone (Robin Leidner), who keeps him alive until Corday's final blow--are both perhaps slightly too intense at the beginning to permit their characters to develop. The trick in Weiss's Marat/Sade is that the players must grow in the course of the play, gradually changing from lunatics to historical figures, blending one element into the other. Norris is a brilliant Corday at first, but because she begins her part with too much tension, she has nowhere to go by the second half of the play. Persian rugs always...
Many Indians grow up on the reservation and don't leave until they have reached adulthood. Even today, many Indians go to the city for work without a high school diploma or job skills.

There are, for example, the woodland tweezers, which grow in a pattern the fictitious Japanese botanist Uchigaki has found disturbingly similar to the game of Go. And the black Anaclea taludensis flowers, defiers of the laws of perspective -they shrink as the visitor approaches, then expand as he withdraws. The Giraluna germinates from a point somewhere above the ground; its roots grow down toward but never into the earth. The Artisia is "nonorganic and very likely of human origin." This plant, covered with whirligigs, curlicues and other designs associated...
