...them in. They are what we look for--a name, a place, an allusion, an object, a brand of deodorant, the titles of six poems in a row, even an occasional date. This, son, makes for interesting reading, and that is what gets As. Underline them, capitalize them, insert them in outline form: be sure we don't miss them. Why do you think all exams insist at the top, "Illustrate;" "Be Specific;" etc? They mean it. The illustrations, of course, need not be singularly relevant; but they must be there. If Vague Generalities are anathema, sparkling chips of concrete...
...opinion was anything but unanimous. According to numerous sources directly involved, key analysts at the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the State Department's intelligence bureau disagreed with the estimate. They attempted to insert footnotes of dissent but were repeatedly prevented from doing so. "This false unanimity was not an accident," charges a former official. "It was the personal creation of Mr. Gates." One agency that persisted in its dissent was the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, headed by Morton Abramowitz. Only when Gates called directly to say that Casey wanted no footnotes did Abramowitz finally...
...group devoted to covering '60s rhythm-and-blues songs. How fervently these members of the Irish underclass wish to be black! And how it must have tempted Parker, who in his recent films (Mississippi Burning, Come See the Paradise) has told America what to think about racial issues, to insert a lecture during the break. Here, though, the big drama is whether soul survivor Wilson Pickett will show up at the band's big gig. The picture could be half an hour shorter or twice as long -- and that would be just fine, because The Commitments runs on rough charm...
...intelligence, a sensitivity he can't quite articulate, just possibly a slight sadness, lurk behind Goodman's eyes, and they ground everything he does in reality. Midler, on the other hand, is our great show-biz floozy, and Allen personifies the anxious urban intellect. It is hard to insert their screen personas into the kind of normal, middle- class lives they are supposed to inhabit here. They require highly stylized vehicles in order to do their best work. Lacking that, neither they nor the audience knows quite what to make of these figures. Are they supposed to be the objects...
...contraception research in the U.S. Numerous other methods are being studied around the world, including a hormone-releasing IUD, a hormonal badge that is taped to the arm and releases a contraceptive through the skin, a female condom and a hormone-emitting vaginal ring, which a woman can insert and remove at will. The French abortion pill, RU-486, is being actively considered for approval in several other European countries but has not been approved in the U.S. Thanks in part to political skittishness about funding contraception in the U.S., American women still have a paltry array of birth- control...
