...mistake. It?s not that the food at Tony?s on Main Street wasn?t good - it was - but you?ve either got to keep the kids going, or let them crash. Something in-between, like dinner, was best done at the house, where they could melt down as they chose. As I watched Mary Grace nearly do a face-plant in her Tony?s pizza, I thought: ?Live and learn.? We headed for the Ferry Boats that would take us to the parking lot with no fewer than five containers of left-overs: tomorrow night?s dinner...

...inches of snow to send a playoff game into overtime, ending Super Bowl XXXVI two weeks later with 48-yard game-winner as time expired - he?s not jumping over cars and rivers on a rocket-powered motorcycle, but like his third cousin, Evel Knievel, Adam Vinatieri doesn?t melt under fire. Despite a sub-par regular season, when he converted a career-low 73.5% of his field goal tries, Vinatieri has kept a clutch foot in the playoffs.

By the end of the next six months, the two test groups showed no difference in the amount of weight they had lost. The studies also found...

...Russia are all called state universities. No one has $20 billion to fund a kindergarten like Harvard. Furthermore, if you think they are just copper bells you know nothing of metallurgy (the bells are bronze with a high silver content). Why else would the Communists have wanted to melt them down? Of course, I do not expect Harvard or the snot-nosed children spending their daddy’s fortune to understand the concept of cultural or national treasure. To Harvard, the bells are just Cold War souvenirs...

...surprise, is now reddening as he barks in Cantonese into his cell phone. Even Tsang's assistant, shaking her head in fear, refuses to interrupt him. Finally, Tsang punches the end button and walks back across the street to where the photographer is waiting. As he strolls, his features melt back into the familiar, cheerful expression that any TV addict knows so well. By the time Tsang steps before the lens, it seems all the brightness a photographer might ever need is emanating from Tsang's signature toothy grin...
