...missing something here? It is a combination as foreign as a keg-standing priest or a thought-provoking Core section. Perhaps, however, the ample frame partly explains her choice of occupancy in front of the Porcellian Club. Shacking up before any other similar locale--the Fox, the Owl, the Fly--would imply an agility and spryness far too incongruous for our portly panhandler...
...Owl: The Owl is known for its championing of endangered species, most prominently the Spotted Owl, but also the lesser known (but just as threatened) Larouse Nesting Owl. Most alums go into environmental protection, and have been responsible for such legislation as the Clean Air Act and the Luau...
Karl Rove doesn't come across as a man on the verge of becoming the most renowned political consultant since James Carville. He looks like an owl (with fewer tufts) and has an obsession with history that seems quaint in the age of Jesse Ventura and Warren Beatty.

Believe who will, but a lot of people are listening: about 9 million a week. That makes Bell the fourth highest-rated radio talker, behind Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura Schlessinger and Howard Stern. And Bell corrals his huge audience in a night-owl slot (the show starts at 1 a.m. in the East) when only the sleep-disordered should be listening. Yet the loose formula, and Bell's intimate symbiosis with the listener, works handsomely. The show is so popular that on many stations, each night's program is re-aired at an earlier hour the next evening...
