...courting Garland the year before in The Clock, to which this film is an uneasy sequel, but now he learns the price of romantic impulse. The newlyweds, holed up in an improbably palatial Greenwich Village apartment (at MGM, even squalor was laid out on the grand scale), are so ill-matched, the happy ending is either a reversal or a strenuous act of Hollywood's wishful thinking. Presenting the hard facts of postwar accommodation, then glossing over them, was MGM's way of offering a panacea, or placebo, to millions of men back from the war, wondering if they were...
...schools in England, and has instituted other programs to make the school available to the underprivileged. Eton's reputation as an enclave for the wealthy is undeserved.

I've been a complementary practitioner for more than eight years and have successfully treated many patients who had tried everything that mainstream medicine had to offer, sometimes repeatedly, but whose conditions still remained painful.

That statement reflected Collins' input. In 1976, during his medical residency, the serene faith of some of his mortally ill patients shocked the self-described "obnoxious atheist" into consulting a local minister, who handed him the book Mere Christianity by the great Christian popularizer and Narnia creator, C.S.

The shuttle, the launch of which was twice delayed due to weather and safety concerns, will also test new inspection techniques to prevent a repeat of the Columbia disaster, in which seven astronauts were killed when their craft burned up on re-entry...
Things would eventually improve. When the final version of Hilbert's paper came out, he was both clear and generous in insisting that credit for the theory of relativity belonged to Einstein. They were soon visiting each other's homes once again. "There has been a certain ill-feeling between us, the cause of which I do not want to analyze," Einstein wrote. "I have struggled against the feeling of bitterness attached to it, with complete success. I think of you again with unmixed geniality and ask you to try to do the same with me. It is a shame...
