...Lynch's artistic vision more than a mere fixation on the eclectic and the bizarre? To be sure, Lynch's work holds a tremendous, albeit sometimes ironic, sense of poignancy.

In any case, Homicide says, today he's "cut in on publishing and merchandising, and I'm a full-fledged member...
...orbit the pivot point at the center of galaxies, planets in turn orbit stars, and moons in turn orbit planets. Last week astronomers writing in the journal Nature announced that this cosmic reductionism goes even further. For the first time, ground-based telescopes spotted a tiny moonlet orbiting a mere asteroid in Earth's own solar system...
