...remnants of the whisky we had for breakfast--"Pills, pills," one of the Ginsburgs is yelling through the roar of the wind, and he's got a fistful of them, twisting and dancing in the backseat of the Thunderbird convertible, tears of madness streaming down his cheeks and down onto his black pinstripe suit--the law professor, I think, the other Ginsburg--or is it Ginsberg?--Ginsbirg?--homonymous, at any rate, and a poet, the queer, the bundle of tie-died rags crumpled still sleeping at his brother's feet, sleeping off the daybreak or maybe paralyzed from the South...

Researchers could then detect the presence of migrating bacteria by dropping soil samples onto the lactose-based, X-Gal-laced growth medium...
...opening-night nervousness: Albert Gore mangled the name of President James Polk, and Bruce Babbitt bobbed and weaved in his chair like a young Muhammad Ali. Last week it was the Republicans' turn to face William Buckley's Firing Line. From the moment the G.O.P. six-pack strode onto the Houston stage, all visual cues suggested that they were indeed different from their Democratic counterparts. They seemed reassuringly familiar, more experienced, older and collectively radiated -- to borrow one of Buckley's Latinisms -- gravitas...
