...been strong and successful, and then the terrible thing had happened: he couldn’t act,” it begins. The novel’s central crisis, Axler’s loss of the ability to act, becomes a symbol—thin though it may seem??for a world coming apart at its very fabric. “The Humbling,” Roth’s thirtieth book and his fourth novel in as many years, is a brief and anguished meditation on the social, physical, and mental decay of an individual whose identity...
...allow Norng Chan Phal, a rare survivor of Duch’s infamous S-21 camp, to be part of the prosecution, even though he missed the filing deadline by two days. While it may seem harsh, Phal should be excluded. The rules—trivial as they may seem?? must be upheld above all else.

Sing, whose delivery is more Bill Murray than Jet Li, is caught in the middle—should he suck...
These are certainly valid points. But a University that purports to the best in the world should not skimp on such a basic and essential product. Cottonnelle is also not as wasteful as it may seem??its added thickness means it takes fewer sheets to do the job, which easily makes up for the fact that it offers only 400 sheets per roll. And the University wouldn’t necessarily have to go 100 percent Cottonelle—Cabot House offers a good middle ground for the cost and conservation conscious: its superintendent offers both types...
