...glacier is more than just ice--bands of sentiment, known as moraines, sit astride the west side of the glacier. However, except for moss, the Harvard Glacier supports no life...
...cases Morris' confidence jump-started the candidate--and began a "permanent campaign" in which Clinton defined himself partly through polling. In Arkansas, as the two men dueled over strategy, they would throw poll numbers back and forth from memory--10 different surveys, each one yielding different slices of voter sentiment. Still, the notion that Morris dictates policy to Clinton, says former chief of staff Betsey Wright, fundamentally misreads their relationship. Clinton controls the dynamic; Morris reads his grunts and silences and knows when they mean no. "I have never seen Dick move Bill on an issue," says Wright. "I watched...
Watching cartoons with his two children one Saturday morning last year, Thomas James Leyden Jr. was startled when his elder son, then 3, abruptly turned off the television.

...imagines, for very long. Much as we all enjoy a sloppy wallow in cheap sentiment, it is hard to imagine anyone wanting to watch Robin Williams further degrade in Jack what was one of the movies' most valuable gifts. The film is a Big variant--a kid inhabiting a grownup's body and getting into all sorts of trouble as a result. But we're not talking about an ill-considered wish going merrily awry here. We're talking about a tragic illness. For Jack doesn't just get older and hairier, he keeps aging at four times the normal...
