...more spiritual person, it would have failed in its promise to socialize me to the values of the educated elite. Those values are secular. The prized act of mind in the Academy is the laying bare of hidden agendas. The educated person knows that love is really about libido, that power is really about class, that judgment is really about politics, that religion is really about fantasy, that necessity is really about chance. These views come from an Enlightenment that began with Galileo and Newton and a modernity begun by Darwin, Marx and Freud. We are Nietzsche's children, shivering...
...other hand, Paul's revelations didn't reveal anything probability couldn't: I'll have two children, one smart; my career will be intellectual-ish; and my libido is on an accelerating upswing. Nothing I couldn't have told you. But Paul's foresight wasn't entirely banal. He told me how to spot Murderer's Thumb--broad at the knuckle, narrow at the top.

Donahue's producers revealed that his TV show, a victim of poor ratings, will soon leave the air. He will still do occasional specials, the TV equivalent of getting kicked upstairs...
...leader of the Senate Republicans--a crabby Kansan named Bob (played by Richard Dreyfuss as if he were a geyser about to gush right-wing bile). On the domestic front, the President has two things to care for: a daughter about Chelsea's age and a man-size libido. He's behaved himself but, in his budding desire for Sydney, hopes the nation might not mind if the President goes on a date...
