...greatest. From roughly mid-1968 through 1972, Creedence had a string of gold albums and Top 10 singles (Proud Mary, Lodi, Who'll Stop the Rain), almost all written by Fogerty. But the band broke up in 1972, burned out and greatly ticked off that the lion's share of the attention was directed to Fogerty...
...names Timon, Pumbaa, Simba or Nala don't mean anything to you, then you probably don't know people who count their age in single digits. These are names many zookeepers hear every day as children gazing at meerkats, warthogs and lion cubs recall the characters from Disney's 1994 hit The Lion King.

On TV, The Simpsons, now in its eighth superb season, begot Ren and Beavis, Duckman and King of the Hill. Disney and Warner stores sell...
...this re-seeding really the right approach? The Harvard birds seem to enjoy a lion's share of the seeds. And although we see a few tendrils of grass grow from seeding, there are rumors that bundles of sod grass are brought in by moonlight after students leave and before Commencement...
