...young woman took my blood pressure, placing my left hand on her lovely shoulder, which drove my blood pressure up--and democracy was evident everywhere. Muslim women in elegant gray chadors sat whispering in the same waiting room with stolid farmers and their wives, geezers and geezerettes next to minor Pooh-bahs and nabobs yakking on cell phones. Snatches of French and German drifted by, and Japanese, and Minnesotan ("So you think it's going to be a long time then? Or no?"). And all of us praying the same continuous silent prayer to the Great Internist...
...four times as many people as the Concorde but costs half as much to maintain. The fixes to the supersonic plane could include tires that resist rupture and explosion, reinforcing the protection of fuel tanks and perhaps coating the underside of the wings with tough materials like kevlar. Even minor changes would be uneconomical. Says R.E.G. Davies, curator of air transport at the National Air and Space Museum, who has written a book on the Concorde: "If it needs yet more money spent on it to make it safe, this...
...part of me...I exclude that," Christopher told the New York Times. But other Gore advisers are cagier on the subject.

...least dramatic final rounds in the history of the British Open. They stayed for a glimpse of golfing puissance--and to see a reflection of themselves. In an era defined by placid prosperity and cross-cultural, NASDAQ-obsessed Generation Y geeks who went to Stanford, it is only a minor coincidence that the national icon is a 24-year-old multiracial golfer who "plays around in the market" and could be worth $1 billion by the time he's 30 and was geeky enough to be nicknamed Urkel by his college teammates--at Stanford...
While this may seem minor, and even a trifle ridiculous, in a school so generally lacking in school spirit I can't help but think that our lack of a real, supportable mascot is part of the problem. Who wants to rally behind a giant Puritan head? Having rowed for Radcliffe, I hope I can speak for athletes on campus in that school spirit and support for our teams is almost embarrassingly low. Something has to be done to revitalize school spirit...
