...necessarily homeless, and vice versa. In fact, if Tuck had conversations with some of the panhandlers that I have talked to, she would learn that many of them live quite comfortably. To be sure, these sorts of beggars are probably not the norm, but Tuck's inane generalizations still smack of guilt-wracked hooey. Tuck needs to give Harvard students more credit; the majority of us are already concerned about the problem of homelessness, but are averse to treating homeless people like they are animals in a petting zoo.

...Pietraroia limestone beds near Naples, Italy, are celebrated for the exquisite fossils they've yielded up since the early 1800s--gorgeously preserved specimens of prehistoric fish and a few birds.

Among the non-talkers, we have a group of seniors--team captain Tim Walther, Cary Aarons and the Vick twins--in the core unit. The juniors include Dave Park, Chris Cain and myself. The lone sophomore to get minutes was Peter Moores...
...black Nikes. Those who wore glasses had them neatly folded next to their body. It was a remarkably well-choreographed departure. But the largest mass suicide in U.S. history blasted the doors wide open onto a considerably less tidy world--a jumbled universe of UFOs and extraterrestrials careening smack into apocalyptic Christian heresies and end-is-nigh paranoia...
