...build the Times up and keep it going." Bracing for at least a temporary loss of their daily breakfast companion, some readers have offered touching pledges of loyalty. Wrote David Fitzpatrick from Sheffield: "A day without the Times is a desolate day, but if you must leave us for a time in order to put your house in order, so be it. We will be waiting when you return...
...though his pupils bring in $5 million in annual revenues and $2 million in profits, which is plowed back into sports facilities for the rest of the.student body. Phys-ed classes at Penn State have first call on the school's indoor arenas, so the Nittany Lions occasionally must sweep snow off their field in order to practice. Says Paterno: "We never had a rug in our locker room. We're more spartan, and it's more of a challenge. We recruit people who belong at Penn State academically as well as athletically...
...René Magritte and Salvador Dali all paid homage to the liberating power of early De Chirico. He seemed to have made the actions of the dreaming mind more accessible, vivid and poignant than any other painter.

In this way the work will draw nearer to dream and to the mind of a child." The tilted, exaggerated perspectives of De Chirico's pre-1920 paintings, their dry meridional light...
Snyder and his co-workers discovered in 1973 that the nerves of the brain and spinal cord contain specific sites to which opiates must bind in order to produce their effect. Morphine and similar drugs fit into these so-called opiate receptors like a key into a lock. Once in the lock, the drugs are able to dampen pain signals to the brain. Snyder then went on to map the distribution of the receptors in the brain. Kosterlitz and Hughes expanded on the research. They wondered why the body should evolve receptors for foreign narcotics; perhaps the body produced...
Look again. The 13½-in. by 16½-in. size is justified: De Rico's monumental landscapes suggest Leonardo, and his tale is reminiscent of the Grimm brothers. Title roles are played by a group of grouchy little creatures who must be distantly related to black holes: they eat light and color for breakfast. The goblins' quarry is the biggest meal of them all, the rainbow. Their enemies turn out to be every flower and animal on earth. Against those odds, only two species can possibly prevail: the writer and the reader...
