...Japanese have a habit of giving every event its own descriptive title, and politics keeps the phrasemakers particularly busy...
Baked & Boiled. If the new bridge lives up to expectations, it will be one of the most significant tonal innovations in string instruments in 300 years. This, however, is not likely to cut much ice with many performers, if only because musicians have a habit of disagreeing on almost every notion concerning their instruments, especially violins.

It was her habit to spend the eve of battle walking around on her knees-a kinetic form of prayer-sometimes anointing herself with fireplace ashes. From these rituals, Carry apparently drew prodigious strength. While raiding the Senate Bar in Topeka on Feb. 5, 1901, she disarmed a pistol-toting bartender (his two shots...
