...instinct tells me there'll be continuing interest and curiosity about Tyson," Jay Larkin, a Showtime senior vice president whose instincts are hard to argue with, told USA Today. Nor will Holyfield rule out a return bout. "I wouldn't say never," he says...
...somehow that instinct to crouch down in the face of change runs right into the urge to sit up straight and ride it out. The inverse of the maxim that hard times pull communities together is that good times let people stray, start their own business, move to a new town not because their job requires it but for a better life, a better school, a better view of the mountains.

...something more was involved than Nuland's experience and surgical skill. The patient survived, he believes, because of her will to live. This instinct, the product of eons of evolution, is evidence to the author that humans are greater than the sum of their 75 trillion constituent parts, their cells. Some readers will see the miracle of mankind as proof that a Creator exists. Nuland does not. His surrogate for spiritual piety is awe and wonder at the mystery of the human spirit and the marvelous economy of the physiology that embodies...
