...have such different athletic backgrounds at least as far as athletics at their respective institutions go, the two presidents are philosophical teammates. In an intercollegiate sports world increasingly taught with scandal and money woes they seem almost naive. They support the time honored cliche that although college sports can plat an important role academics should always come first...
...colleagues the author traveled more than 6,000 miles and spent a year choosing and testing the 400 recipes in the book. Their salivant safari takes the reader from the Pyrenees to the Alps, from the sands of St.-Malo to the beaches of Nice, with hardly a dull plat en route. Willan succeeds admirably in analyzing the tastes, products, humors and quirks of each region.

If you've never seen it, you own yourself a treat, like the first time you read Lewis Carroll or Evelyn Waugh. R & G is an actor's showcase, and if the eponymous reads are any good-you should laugh from the beginning until the surprisingly, tender conclusion. The play is about two characters in search of a language and contains the most brilliant wordplay on the English stage (always rich in wordplay) since Shakespeare or at least Wilde...
