...first met the Boxx about a year ago in the basement of a Unitarian church in my Midwestern hometown of Oak Park, Illinois. I had booked a show there for him, and I’d talked to him online a few times prior to our meeting. He and his friends rolled up in a crowded van about two hours late, and Juice ran into the bathroom as soon as he stumbled out of it to change into his stage clothes—a blue jumpsuit, a pair of Phat Farm boxers, and a cock-ring he?...
...eventually, even greater fame after the war. As McCrum also notes, Wodehouse was every inch the Edwardian: calm in a crisis, aloof but generous (he supported an old school chum for years), quietly productive (he could pound out a novel's first draft in days), and fit as an oak (thanks to daily calisthenics).

There's a kitchen, bedroom, veranda...

Thomas Thundat's first job at Tennessee's Oak Ridge National Laboratory wasn't exactly a glamorous start. When Thundat arrived in 1991, fresh from postdoctoral training, he was put to work in a dank bomb shelter that had been converted into a lab. His task was to use an atomic force microscope to get a "snapshot" of the DNA molecule. All he seemed to be getting, though, was a headache. The microscope, which detects the con-tours of molecules by dragging a flexible sliver of coated silicon over them, was malfunctioning. After puzzling through his problem for months, Thundat...
