...ever seen ‘Hell’s Kitchen’?” asks Pavloff, referring to the reality TV show in which contestants try to impress the profane Chef Ramsay with their culinary prowess. According to Pavloff, Ramsay is not an anomaly. But Ramsays and their ilk did not deter Paur from making the most of her apprenticeship. In fact, she found that cooking gave her a boost in confidence. “I realized that I could actually make money by being a pastry chef,” she says. If Pavloff, Chang, and Paur...
...have the right to be suspicious.But fears that “This Moment on Earth,” the new book by Senator John Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, will be a carbon copy of “An Inconvenient Truth” and its ilk prove to be unfounded. The book is quite different from that famed multimedia presentation of Al Gore ’69, albeit far less authoritative.

...example. I was never interviewed by these gentlemen, and much of their little story is a complete lie. There were never any nude scenes shot during or after a day's shooting. I have never posed in the nude above or below the waist. Like Lucifer, publications of this ilk tell a little truth and slip the lies in like chopped liver in a sandwich. The gullible don't know they've been had till they get sick...
