...that's precisely the question he is considering privately, even though last week he resisted appeals by Democrats--and quiet entreaties by some in his own party--to limit the scope and the length of the inquiry. While the Republican faithful are still eager to have Clinton's hide at any cost, the message coming through loudest in the polls is that the public at large is thoroughly sick of the scandal. "He's going to have to make a case why this has to go on ad nauseam--and ad nauseam is a good...
Some of the work itself became tedious--Kochhas a tendency to fall into endless strings ofparallel declarative statements, such as in "OneTrain Can Hide Another," where he cycles throughdozens of variations of the title's formula, "oneX can hide another"; it's easy to see how he canwork so well with children, handing outassignments such as "a poem in which every firstline begins with 'I wish..."--but the readingitself was never disappointing.

Realistically, they expect the revolution to be a slow...

Its body is salmon colored, its eyes blue--no ordinary blue, but blue that defines the color, the first blue, the blue open eye of the sea. Once thought extinct, it can turn inside out, and hide in a cloak of itself. If one doubts the range of nature's imagination--or sense of humor--picture a Vampyroteuthis staring into a self-created darkness, 3,000 ft. below the surface, while nearer shore, an otter snacks...
