There is a sort of poetry in absorbing the details of the construction process. Many a day have I laid aside my books and stared intensely at the backhoes, as they scoop dirt up, swivel around, dump it elsewhere and pat it down. This is an immense improvement over watching the cars that sat stationary in the lot all day, which was the only distraction my window provided before the construction began...
...life-or-death issue of U.S. foreign policy. As a Congressman, diplomat, Republican Party chairman, Vice President and presidential candidate, he was always the sort of politician who fretted about the consequences of a misstep.

...creatures to stock a theme park. Sebastian the crab (voiced by Samuel E. Wright) is a Caribbean Jiminy Cricket, fussing avuncularly over Ariel but bound to break into calypso croon. Louis the French chef (Rene Auberjonois) brings sadistic elan to his dicing, flaying and serving of les poissons. Ursula (Pat Carroll) the sea witch is a fat, shimmying squid with malefic revenge in mind -- the sort of Disney horror queen who has given kids nightmares for a half-century. All these characters are given witty, hummable pop songs by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (the Little Shop of Horrors team...
