...that was at stake was some sort of bragging rights--who has the most Nobels, who gets to look down its national nose at the rest of the world--none of that would have happened because it wouldn't really matter. After all, Americans may have invented the integrated circuit and the Internet and the lightbulb, but people all over the world get to use them. Same goes for the statin drugs that lower cholesterol and the iPod. And we are obviously free to use inventions made elsewhere, such as Velcro and the ballpoint...
...career recrafting the classics - Homer, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Melville - for new generations. Her just-published version of Cyrano de Bergerac, mines Edmond Rostand's fin de siècle romcom for what it has to say about the power of language to transcend life's banalities, rather than for big-nose jokes.

This all leads, of course, to eventual ruin, loss of bladder control and hideous sores, (and then, predictably, weird masks and a steel nose to cover the sores). Midway through the movie, I was confused...
...brought along? Would one of the freshmen take over? Would it be a point-by-committee system?Housman answered those questions immediately, grabbing the starting role out of the gate and carrying himself with the poise fitting a veteran.Despite being undersized at 5’11, Housman had a nose for the basket from day one, driving to the hole and using a plethora of pivots to open himself up for a scoop shot or a leaning bank.Goffredo played exceptionally well over the first half of the season, leading the team in scoring until Stehle’s recent outbursts...
