...drugs that prolong these kids' lives are the outward sign of their invisible illness. The Spartan infirmary in the main cabin is known as Club Meds. Each day as the 80 campers fish, play basketball, paint or make lanyards, a team of volunteer nurses sit around a table on which hundreds of pills are lined up like jelly beans. If only they were. In a harsh reminder of just how different this camp is, the nurses carry those pills to the camp's 10 cabins two to three times a day. Some kids must pop as many as 30, which...
...This is a 12-bar blues with a difference: the breaks come not in the first two lines (as in, say, Little Richard's "Long Tall Sally") but in the fourth and sixth, giving the lyric room to build to a natural dramatic climax and the pianist room to paint his sound-portrait. Of course there's a slew of arpeggios (eight, to the all-time record 11 in "Great Balls") and the satyr-singer's invocation of the magic moment "when your hips start rockin'/ Honey, and your knees start knockin'."

I want to be around people who want to paint a picture, be in a play, become a lawyer--not people who are planning their funerals...
That really should not be surprising. Most types of animals--monkeys, whales, cats, apes--come in multiple varieties. As recently as 30,000 or 40,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens was sufficiently evolved to make jewelry and paint hauntingly evocative drawings on cave walls, we shared the planet with a second hominid species, the Neanderthals. And although it seems natural to us that only one species of hominid lives today, it is in fact an exception to nature's way of doing things...
