...tennis and squash coaches, conference rooms and offices for all the athletic department offices. Almost all of the third-floor athletic department offices have a fantastic end zone view of Soldiers' Field. The best seat in the house, however, is from the "Touchdown Room," which, with its comfortable and plush seating, is guaranteed to be a real crowd-pleaser among alums and recruits who come to watch a Harvard football game...
...with a soft lisp and a gift for gab, Alexie is an enrolled member of the Spokane tribe, though he also speaks proudly of his father's Coeur d'Alene heritage. Chatting in a plush Beverly Hills, Calif., hotel lobby a week before the movie's release, he's clearly stoked at the prospect that it might crack open doors for other budding Native auteurs.

("No, We're not the Jet Set/ We're the old Chevrolet set/ Our steak and martini/ Is draft beer with weenie"*). She sat on the plush blue antique sofa, hair poufed out to here, with nails, makeup and outfit perfectly coordinated.
