...charges of militant feminism certainly seem misplaced, up there in that bare room on the fourth floor of Agassiz, when Norris extracts a jug of cider and packages of chocolate chip cookies from her knapsack before the meeting.

...made the rough-hewn look the backbone of his collection. His Harris tweed hacking jacket is a highly styled-and highly priced ($256)-version of a riding jacket sold for $79.50 by the equestrian outfitter, Miller's of New York. Louis Vuitton has whipped up a knapsack ($275) blanketed with the familiar L.V.s.

As a result, during his lifetime Teilhard was celebrated only as a paleontologist who worked on the Peking man discovery. It was not until after his death 20 years ago this week that his philosophical works (among them: The Phenomenon of Man, Christianity...
...choice but to join the crowd sleeping in the park located next to the bullring. I unrolled my sleeping bag and arranged my sweater into a makeshift pillow. I took off my pants, which contained my wallet, passport, traveller's checks, and train pass, and put them into my knapsack, which I placed a half-foot from my head. The wine had made my head heavy, and I was out like a light. Around 4:30 a.m. I awoke with a start and, after, shaking my head, I noticed with a shock that my knapsack was gone. I frantically began...
