Ironically, Huckabee may benefit from media stereotypes. To people who think of evangelical leaders as Bible thumpers, a pastor playing Devil with a Blue Dress On on bass is like a dog walking on its hind legs???though rock bands are common in modern churches. "In New York and L.A., there's this complete ignorance about what Evangelicals are really like," says Alexandra Pelosi, a documentarian (and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's daughter) who made the HBO movie Friends of God, about evangelical culture. "When I visited megachurches, the pastors were all making Napoleon Dynamite references...
...nearly 100,000 vets came back with severe physical disabilities: fast evacuation by helicopter and excellent medical care saved thousands of men?many without arms and legs???who might otherwise have died. Another 50,000 fear that they may have got cancer from the blitzing American herbicide Agent Orange...
Like Casals, Slava is an unabashed romantic. Cradling his Strad between his legs???or, more precisely, embracing it?he seems to pour his Russian soul into every phrase, bowing long, singing lines with a subtle eloquence and a purity of tone.

Her body?a broad-shouldered 5 ft. 5 in. with long showgirl legs???weaves a rhythm of its own even when she is standing still...
Lynn, on the contrary, looks like a hockey star trying to look like a movie star. She seems to be bigger than Vanessa and to have more arms and legs???quite nice legs that somehow look sexy even though they are semaphorically knock-kneed. Lynn, continues Ustinov, "gives the impression of knocking things down by mistake because she doesn't know her tail is wagging." She has a kewpie-doll face countersunk in a strawberry-blonde mane; she wears what looks like fluorescent face powder; and she sometimes paints her lower lashes, Twiggy-style, so far below the natural eyeline...
