...acknowledged fact that Parsis are known for their hospitality and charity. "Parsi. thy name is Charity" is an oft heard truth, and it is this charitable nature that has given birth to our custom of exposing the dead bodies to vultures. A pure Parsi believes in charity and donation even after his soul leaves his body. "Let the bird feed on my flesh and my bones return to Mother Earth." That principle underlies our practice of confining our dead to the dokhmas...
...promised return of the magician Melquiades, who brought the first ice to Macondo, the senile priest decries the reappearance of the Wandering Jew--a bewildered adolescent who is the first visitor in 20 years to stay overnight in Macondo's only hotel.

...tips were pure gold, but seldom freely proffered. Woodward and Bernstein received no sudden revelation of Watergate's wider dimensions, used no James Bond wiles to score their scoops. They dug out the story in tortuously mined fragments, relying on shrewd hunches, dogged legwork and constant checking.

In a follow-up study of their first group, Gottheil and his associates claim that, after six months, approximately half...
...near-tragic character of Fidelia, in love with the hero Manly, yet forced to conceal her feelings and her sex, has the power to make or break the play. Sarah Jane Lithgow's sensitive portrayal draws out of a potentially melodramatic part all the tragic irony of this single pure character, as she follows her rough and faithless lover through a world in which she clearly has no part. There is nothing comic in the character of a woman who is forced, in the guise of a man, to woo another woman on behalf of the man she loves...
