...University of Vermont and a psychiatrist who works with traumatized kids. People have made much of the fact that Smart did not cry out in public or try to escape. But this doesn't mean she was brainwashed. She may have been threatened with harm if she made a peep and thus pursued an unconscious survival strategy of trying to win the goodwill of her captors. Such behavior might, from the outside, resemble affection or even love...
...retire. After months of tabloid speculation about how Davis--whose ego is a frequent subject of industry jokes ("Why does Clive Davis like CDs more than tapes? He thinks they were named after him")--would respond, he surprised his critics, friends and corporate overlords by stepping aside without a peep. As a reward for his grace, Davis was given seed money to start J Records, where in a short time he piloted Alicia Keys to five Grammys and 10 million worldwide album sales.

Microsoft wants to reassure governments about security, but it hasn't shed all its reserve. This show is only a peep...
...Times Square: It's been cleaned up and Disney-fied, but even Giuliani couldn't expunge every last bit of sex from this stretch of neon and noise. Wander off the beaten path to find an endless array of peep shows, provided by the city's finest out-of-work Broadway dancers. Such a deal! Best of all, no standing in that bargain ticket line with the rest of the tourists...
