...Riding Hood motif dreams of Rosaleen provide the ostensible framework for all the werewolf permutations. We only rub against reality during the very wispy frame scenes that depict nothing much: Rosaleen breathes heavily in her sleep.

...design can help us save money, and you know how much that warms my heart." The President's interest cannot fail to shake up the bureaucracy a little. And more attention to the quality of a product's appearance would not only improve the prestige of Government but might rub off on U.S. industry, which needs better design to improve its position in the world market...
