...adopted tribe and its homeland. It's a picaresque and pulpy story, pure pleasure at times, full of duels and hunts and treks and sweaty, historically accurate sex (although Claire, the book's weakest link, never becomes more than a compilation of crackpot feminine ideals). But it has a sad heart, and in the end an elderly Will is left wincing in the glare of newfangled electric lightbulbs and mourning the passing of the Cherokee way of life. "All I can say," he sighs, "is that we are mistaken to gouge such a deep rift in history that the things...
...found little real initiatives to put Harvard’s bounty towards. So instead of funding projects that directly ameliorate the subjugation that the gentler sex must endure on campus, it spends to provide free tea, coffee, printing, and photocopying for everyone on campus, no matter their gender.

...show with enough heart, humor and richness of character to appeal far beyond the Doctor Who convention set. There is Jack (Matthew Fox), a heartthrob doctor with unresolved father issues, and Locke (Terry O'Quinn), a paraplegic miraculously healed on the island. There is Hurley (Jorge Garcia), a likable sad sack who won the lottery playing a set of numbers--4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42--that we learn have mystic significance. There is a fugitive (Evangeline Lilly), a wisecracking con man (Josh Holloway), a heroin-addicted has-been rock star (Dominic Monaghan), a former Iraqi torturer (Naveen Andrews...
