...States, I'd still have papers to write, reading to do and finals to take. It's not like going to Harvard is a real job--I wouldn't want to retire from college. The richest people in the world have traditionally indulged themselves in education. Nestling into the lap of luxury will still send me right to the arms of Mother Harvard...
...actors with his masterful performance. His delivery was finely tuned, going back and forth from his outwardly uptight demeanor to a lusty raw one, in which he "has" phone sex and masturbates. He remains in perfect tandem with the other players, darting about the stage, typing frantically on his lap-top computer and molesting Adam.

Bush's Tokyo foray, in which the enduring -- and symbolic -- image was of the American President collapsing into the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister, intensified American feelings of anger and humiliation. Pat Buchanan, whose New Hampshire stump speech includes numerous nods to his isolationist "America First" economic platform, fans the flames. "We're on a wave of Japan bashing that is much more serious than in previous years," concludes I.M. Destler, a visiting fellow at the Institute for International Economics in Washington...
