...then this scene would fade into a picture of the same Scholz Garten 36 years ago. The hair is shaggier, the eyeglasses bigger, but the buzz is the same. It's all about insurgency and outsiders and change and down with Establishments. McGovern, Gary Hart, Howard Dean, Obama - at Scholz's, fresh candidates' faces are always on tap. The only difference is that Hillary Clinton was hip to it 36 years ago and she's a victim of it today. This film is about coming full circle, and like all such tales, it is thick with poignancy. After 10 straight...
When the school received extra money for playing fields last summer, it decided to try an artificial turf, even though it would cost more than $700,000. The new surface is not classic AstroTurf, which many players consider hard and abrasive, but a softer, shaggier material called FieldTurf, made of sand, recycled rubber sneakers and blades of grass fashioned from synthetic fiber.

S. museums; just as James Simpson, president of Marshall Field & Co. (Chicago department store), was congratulating himself and being congratulated that the expedition he had financed was a complete success and a great contribution to natural...
Some big, shaggy Tian Shan ibexes, shaggier Tian Shan sheep, still shaggier Asiatic bears, some Siberian roe (small deer), some Tahr gazelles, some goitered gazelles, and some 600 small birds and mammals, all dead and on the pack ponies of two lively brothers Roosevelt, entered the ancient city of Kashgar (eastern Turkestan) last week. "Fine success," cable those sons of a great hunter, Theodore Jr. and Kermit Roosevelt. They had come back to their base from the rugged Tian Shan mountains after losing ponies, breath and weight in the arduous passes. Their ornithologist and curator, George K. Cherrie...
